Finding the right depends has been a challenge. With that said I have found the best fit and ones but I have several packs that do not work.

Location is by Minot ND. Is there an organization to donate opened packages of depends? Like I said I have several that basically are full. I just had to try several. The rest are fully unused depends. I just would rather give them away since they are expensive. Sizes are S and M

Have you tried calling local NHs to see if they accept them? Otherwise you can post it on Nextdoor.com and have interested parties privately message or text you.

If you tape the package and the remainder are obviously new, like not taken out of the package new, you can donate them. I see them at thrift stores all the time like this.

I would also look for a local diaper bank, they will have resources for adult incontinence donations.

Would love it if you told those on Forum which products worked well for you and which ones did not work. Sounds like you did your research. This question is often asked here.
As to accepting open packages, do call around. As a former nurse I never worked anywhere where open packages were accepted, but there certainly may be a one on one who would love to receive this. You might check food pantry as I volunteered in one that actually opened and made smaller packages available; they did the same with dog food. Opened packages and divided product. People definitely took both. This was some time ago. I doubt they would do so today.

When looking for depends I figured it would be pretty easy but it was very difficult. Sizes are all different with brands. I found https://www.hdis.com/brands/reassure?cid=199772&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7_eszKj29QIVhYJbCh0ylAL6EAAYASAAEgJGt_D_BwE online and had a personal assistant help me. They have great deals. The best thing is the amount of liquid they hold. This worked well especially overnight. They also have wipes the size of hand towels that worked really well too.
