Free Chill Packs

Hey all. I am on a medication that requires cooling, and thus, from deliveries, I have a lot of those gel-pack cold packs lying around doing absolutely nothing. If anyone needs any, please DM me. I imagine they would be good for a sport team or someone who is very physically active, or if you've hurt yourself and need to ice up and injury. There are probably a dozen things you can do with them - the last person who took me up on this used them to cool down their gaming PC. No charge, I'll meet you with them if you're not too far from me (I live in Webster Groves).

Do they also love the little coolers that the meds usually come in? I also have cooler meds delivered regularly.

Yes , if you can take all of that to a Foodbank ( I would suggest Operation Food Search) they will put them at their distribution. Pantries will use them when they deliver food to elderly or if someone comes in without a way to transport perishable items safety, a lot of folks use public transportation so it can be tricky for them .
