Best way to deal with unused medical supplies?

We were doing homecare for a family member who is now thankfully 100% recovered. Left over supplies include a few hundred cartons of feeding tube formula, dozens of needleless syringes, a few hundred sanitary sponges and gauze tape rolls, and lots of miscellaneous things like pump bags, etc.

I've googled this some, there's a place about an hour away I could donate most of it. Most of it I could sell on ebay though after time and shipping may not be worth a few hundred dollars profit. I know some churches take some of these things.

So, just curious if anyone out there has been through something like this and how they handled it? We don't want to just throw it away. Thank you for any info.
