I'm not in San Francisco, but I would think that any Salvation Army or Red Cross location would love to have them. Also, any shelter for the homeless. Check your local phone directory.I have loads of small size shampoos and lotions from my travels. Where in San Francisco can I donate them?
Fresh Start in Walnut Creek can use them. They help homeless people with a number of things, including showers, clean clothes, etc.I have loads of small size shampoos and lotions from my travels. Where in San Francisco can I donate them?
Take them to a Women's and Children's Shelter. Ask your local police department for a shelter.
any airline security checkpoint... haha
I dontate to these:
Family Resouce Centers
Shelters, missions
Women Shelters and Centers
Many of these welcome the small toiletries. Each time a new person comes in they need fresh supplies. They give them what they need for the day or week.
Look in your directory and call first. Most accept ongoing.
I would take them to any of the shelters. Also, check with local churches to see if any of them are planning any mission trips soon.
Any battered women's shelter, homeless shelter or food pantry would love to have them. I've also taken a boat-load of sample-sized products to the local HeadStart (government, low-income pre-school) center to donate for the families using the HeadStart program.
Maybe at a Homeless Shelter.
Any drug and Alcohol residential treatment facility. These people come straight off the street or from jail and live in Programs and they come with next to nothing. They would be very greatful to receive such products since they have no money and cant leave the programs. Most programs supply things while others do not.

Are we allowed to bring lotion, shampoo, toothpaste, cologne, perfume and other liquid when traveling abroad?
I plan to travel to China and South Korea and I just wonder if there are restrictions about bringing liquid abroad. Please help! ThanksAre we allowed to bring lotion, shampoo, toothpaste, cologne, perfume and other liquid when traveling abroad?
on all the airlines i have been on its been 100 ml bottles or less only, i have bought as big as 200 ml without questions though. just display them in a clear zip lock bag, oh and you can also take whatever you want in your check in luggage. the problem is the hold is not well pressurized so bottles may pop open so put each bottle in its own ziplock in your check in luggage (they can be any size)Are we allowed to bring lotion, shampoo, toothpaste, cologne, perfume and other liquid when traveling abroad?
If you are referring to airplane travel, all liquids must be 3 oz or less. This includes shampoo, toothpaste, lotion, cologne, and any other liquids. The only exceptions are baby formula. Then, of course, you must have a baby with you. For any other airline restrictions, just type in ';TSA'; and it will give you a complete run down on what not to bring.
In your carry-on, yu can have one 1 qt. size zip lock bag and put as many 3 oz bottles of liquids in it as will fit. in your checked luggage you can have any size liquis you want...but they will be heavy. Why not just buy them when you get there...I am sure they are avail.

Can i put shampoo, lotion and hair conditioner in ';sandwhich bags'; when I travel?
I have to go to a meeting overnight. I don't want to buy the little bottles of stuff for everything. Can I quirt some shampoo into a sandwhich bag, some conditioner for my hair, etc. and just carry in my purse? I know it has to be under 4 oz. but i have so many supplies it would be cheaper if I could just squirt what I need for one use (since it is just an overnight stay) rather than going out and buying everything,even ';little containers';. Thanks.Can i put shampoo, lotion and hair conditioner in ';sandwhich bags'; when I travel?
Absolutely not. they must be in little bottles that hold no more than 3 oz. each and those need to be in one 1 quart size zip-lock bag. Just buy one little travel size PERT that is shampoo and conditioner in one...less than $1.50...no big deal. You say you have ';so many supplies';....just simplify for your one day trip.Can i put shampoo, lotion and hair conditioner in ';sandwhich bags'; when I travel?
Not really, but it's possible. If you want to risk making a mess in your suitcase (if you're flying) then go ahead, but you can't bring liquids on board any passenger aircraft (in your carry on luggage) in the United States. Even in a plastic baggie. However, if you bring your regular shampoo from home, this will stow much easier in your suitcase and it will stay closed and won't get too messy. Don't forget that the luggage compartment in an airplane is cold and unpressurized so if you squirt your shampoo into a bag there's a risk of the bag exploding in your suitcase. Hope this helps =]
I dont see why not, i would just make sure the bags are the zip-lock kind to prevent leaking!
no i recently went and i think that they will think something bad of it!myspace commentes

If you are traveling into a higher altitude, how do you pack your shampoo?
im going to Colorado, and i dont know what to do about packing my shampoos and them things.. HELP?If you are traveling into a higher altitude, how do you pack your shampoo?
Ziplock bags for shampoo/etc. when travelling. I learned that one the hard way. I had shampoo and conditioner in the suitcase with my clothes. When I got to where I was going and opened my suitcase... shampoo and conditioner covered EVERYTHING. All of my clothes had to be washed.If you are traveling into a higher altitude, how do you pack your shampoo?
Any liquids, soaps, creams ect should be packed in your suitcase NOT your carry on
if its in your carry on you will be asked to remove it adn they will eathir take it from you or give you a bag to put them in depending on how large and quantity of the item is.
You'd pack it like you normally would...In a leak proof bottle, ideally 3 oz or less if you are flying and want to carry it on, filled 3/4 full to leave room for expansion and contraction during flight, duct tape the lid shut, and put 'em in a sealed zip loc bag, just in case!
That's my standard packing procedure...
I travel to Colorado often and pack my shampoo and I normally would if I was going somewhere else. Just put it in a ziplock baggy so in case it leaks it won't be all over your clothes. Higher altitude won't affect your shampoo.

Why do airports only allow you to travel with small amounts of lotion, shampoo, toothpaste etc.?
This past summer, I went to Texas for 6 weeks with my brother and when we were going to go home to Toronto, we had a little trouble at the airport.
When we were at the security check place, my brother passed through easily, and he barely had much of a carry on with him (just a plastic bag). When it was my turn I went through fine, but when my luggage went through the scan, I ran into trouble. I had bought my mom an expensive type of lotion and I had a larger than allowable size of lotion bottle in my purse. So the security showed me the scan and said that I can't take that on board with my carry on. So I said, Im not trashing any of my lotion because I spent a lot on it. The security guard told me I could go back to the place where they take your baggage. So I went back quickly, payed 25$ for my very small carry on suitcase to go with all the other baggage onto plane. Then I went back to security, passed through and left with brother to go to our gate.
What I don't get is, why did lotion affect where my small suitcase should go. I had the choice of trashing it or paying 25$ and having it go with the other stuff. What's the difference of where there is lotion on the plane? I honestly don't get it. Im 14 and how could I be a threat or something with my lotion??! Anyone know why?Why do airports only allow you to travel with small amounts of lotion, shampoo, toothpaste etc.?
The airlines do not make the rules. The fed. govt does. You may carry all liquids you like ( except explosives) in large bottles in your checked luggage. In your Carry-on luggage you may only carry liquids in 3 oz. size bottles and these bottles must fit in one 1 qt. size zip lock bag. This has been in force for several years now...it is no secret. Just how many bottles of liquid do you actually NEED while on the airplane? Very few! You do not need large bottles of lotion, you do not need shampoo or creme rinse...most people carry all kinds of stuff in their carry on that they have no use for during the flight. The rules have to be the same for everyone, no matter what their age. Because a few people might try to bring dangerous substances on a plane, everyone must adhere to the rules.Why do airports only allow you to travel with small amounts of lotion, shampoo, toothpaste etc.?
Someone in Britain put chemicals in bottles that when mixed together created an explosive. I believe that occurred within the last few years.
Because a few years ago they caught someone with some kind of liquid bombing device in a lotion bottle or something. I can't remember what it was in so they determined for security sake that we cannot carry on any liquids, gels, toothpaste, etc that were over 3 oz. They also have to be in a 1 quart ziploc bag and need to be taken out of your luggage and put in the plastic bins when going through security. And only one ziploc bag per passenger. Before you fly the next time you may want to pull up security requirements so you won't get stuck again. You can not carry on lighters, scissors, nail files, either.

Do you think all people should have there lap tops or even shampoo confiscated when your going to travel byair
Knowing the facts about the new banning of liquid products on air ports because of recent fail terror plan of liquid explosives, what do you think is the biggest flaw about this new rule?Do you think all people should have there lap tops or even shampoo confiscated when your going to travel byair
A lap top should not be confiscated when properly inspected and tested before the flight but liquid products like shampoo and perfumes must be confiscted because these can be used as explosives and can even self-explode while in flight if reacting with other materials even without detonators.Do you think all people should have there lap tops or even shampoo confiscated when your going to travel byair
Inviting terrorists to think outside the box. What next?
i think the biggest flaw is believing that it will actually deter any terrorists. what it will do is instill fear into millions of travelers, increase the cost of maintaining airport security (which will be passed on to the air lines, which the airlines will pass onto us, the travelers) and it will lead to more knee jerk reactions every time a plot os uncovered that might have happened using the most arcane of delivery systems. if this keeps up it won't be long before all carry on luggage will be forbidden. all food or drink of any kind--even from the air line itself--will be banned and people will be strapped into their seats by air marshalls toting m-16s; not to move until the flight is landed and docked.
by the way, alll this will only happen in the u.s. as we seem to be the only ones to over react so rediculously. remember the london train bombings? yeah they were back to normal ridership in a month.
if it will save my life ....yes
Why is everyone complaining about tolitrees being confinscated? I think its rather selfish..We almost had 10 plains dropped into the Atlantic Ocean and everyone wants to ********* about things they can buy when they get to their destination..Yes its an inconvinence but isint it better to be safe..and to the British God Bless you for saving the lives of hundreds of innocent people.
There is not a flaw in this rule you either abide by it or you don't get on the plane. If it makes our country safer then so be it !
It's knee-jerk rulemaking. Mickey Mouse stuff.
It would make sense if they placed the ban because they knew of liquid explosives. Doing so AFTER the fact is so, so silly.
Nobody gets my laptop!
I am a Liberal and I think that air travel is a luxury when put in context with terrorists using our planes as bombs. People need to minimalize when traveling...Send things before you go. I'm exaggerating, but...Travel in your underwear with a toothbrush behind your ear. I think they should limit carry on to the the size of a shaving kit...they could even issue everyone little jump suits before they enter the gates. ship your things UPS and travel light...there should be a extra charge for any carry on or suit cases to cover the cost of scanning them. This is the real deal boys and girls wake up...We have only begun to deal with terrorism...And I'm not talking about Iraq...worry about the trains and public places...if we don't control our borders we are in for it...we don't have to lose any of our rights at home, just relinquish them when we travel.
oh no that is just crazy thinking I find it hard to be leave that someone could take over a plane with just a box cutter.
The biggest flaw is that it is time consuming to search every person's luggage for anything deemed to be a liquid or gel substance.
It's not like it will be much of a setback to pay a few cents to replace a tube of toothpaste, it just makes it more of a hassle to get through security and onto your flight quickly.
Yes, if it is a matter of national interest and security that will save millions of innocent lives. What we can contribute to this effort is to cooperate with the proper authorities to attain a peaceful and safe travel.
it sucks but its 4 saving ppls lifes....dont trip over dumpin ur products.....just next time pack it in the suitcase!
