A few places to donate these:
- Shelters or safe houses for abused or homeless persons
- Transitional living and halfway houses for recovering mentally ill or homeless
- Residences for elderly, disabled
- Red Cross / Crescent or others providing assistance and shelters in emergencies (e.g. house fires, disasters)
- Programs providing training and interview opportunities for those out of work
- Programs providing assistance to victims of sexual violence (see orknot2be above)
nerd, nobody has to ship these thousands of miles - though some may chose to send them off if they wish.
