16. What to do with smaller stashes of supplies?

The children's hospital where my wife works they are not allowed to wear masks. Can't give them to her.

The daycare where my kids are, I'm sure they don't want to wear masks. But I donated some supplies that I felt would help.

You can't sell masks or certain hospital grade supplies on craigslist/facebook/ebay/amazon for even normal prices.
Not everyone is in it to price gouge.

Some people just have a small supply, too big for themselves, but too small for any hospital to care about.

What suggestion do you have for us? Just let them rot?
I've mailed some to people I deem higher risk. Ideas please.
