Osto Group is a nonprofit in central West Palm Beach, FL. We work with ostomy supplies, which is a large array of medical products having to do with ostomy surgery. This is where people where a bag on the outside of their body after their bowel and/or bladder has been removed due to illness, disease or injury.
Currently our 2,000 item inventory is being sorted and neatly stacked in various boxes and on shelving in our warehouse. There is no expetise required. We will train you on your first day. It's easy and there is always lots to do. Please consider coming and helping us get organized
If you have an ostomy yourself, or if you are a nurse specializing in wound care and/or ostomy, we can speak to you about further training regarding inspection and preparation for redistribution. We appreciate your consideration and assistance.

Mission Statement
Osto Group is small in size but has one of the largest donated inventories of ostomy supplies in the USA. We receive donated ostomy supplies, inspect, sort and redistribute them to the uninsured locally in Palm Beach County and across the USA. It is our mission to be sure that no uninsured ostomate has to deal with the stress of not being able to afford their ostomy supplies. Osto Group takes care and attention with each person who comes to us for help. Our volunteers are vital for this process to continue.
Description
Osto Group has been assisting those who have had ostomy surgery with quality supplies for the cost of shipping and handling for the past 16 plus years. IWe began as a small grassroots organization founded by 3 local women in Palm Beach County. We have grown over the years to a thriving non-profit who helps thousands of people all across the country.
We are completely 100% volunteer driven. Nobody draws a salary. We depend on our local volunteers to help us in the receiving, sorting, managing and redistribution of these supplies to qualified individuals. Our volunteers can enjoy a sense of accomplishment along with us especially if they have an ostomy or know someone who does. But that is not a criteria for assisting us. From nurses, to students, to stay-at-home moms, to retired folks, all can be trained to do what we do. Of course, we always appreciate an occasional man's man who wants to help us with whatever heavy lifting we might have. But for the most part our work involves sitting, standing, sorting and having fun with your fellow volunteers.
