I have luggage, walkie-talkies, used lap-top PC's, walkman, books, linens, new shoes,and so forth. Most major charities sell everything donated to them, to bulk purchasers for the cash - -thats how they raise the money- I have good items which could be put to use by individuals and worth more than can be gotten through selling by the pound. Anyone know what org would be able to take these and give items to someone needy? I can drop off. Thank you.

Churches, women's shelters, homeless shelters and places helping the mentally challenged would all love to have those kinds of goods. Social services would love the luggage and could pass the word about some clothes for the foster kids in their system. There are also some charities that help find people jobs or help during pregnancies; they could probably use some of those things too. See if there are charity sections in the phone book and ask about pointers. Good luck - you have an awesome idea!

advertise in the paper a "give away" or just go to some of the poor neighborhoods and stop and talk to people and ask if they could use any of the stuff. I would suggest you stand outside a soup kitchen, but most of those people are completely homeless and would have no room for the such as linens, laptops, and such, though I'm sure they could use the shoes....Hats off to you...you are doing a WONDERFUL thing ♥.

A) St. Vincent de Paul Society.
B) The American Red Cross.
C) Ask a well-placed businessman in your area if he knows of a group or organization which supplies these things to young people just entering the professional business world.
D) Check to see if there's an Outreach Center near you. They sell to single individuals and very cheaply too. I buy a lot of stuff from MY local Outreach Center.
