Do you know anything about the basics of keeping them apart so that they do not breed indiscriminately?
Find a pet shop or rescue shelter that will take them and get a stuffed rabbit!

No sorry I dont, but here are some other suggestions on how to deal with them:
first of all seperate the males and females so you don't get any more
try contacting local pet stores to see if they would be interesed in taking them
this may sound mean and nasty but you may be able to sell them as snake food (I don't know if they eat hamsteres but they eat mice and they're sort of related)
put an add in the newspaper
ebay (but the people who buy them might not be trustworthy)
if you have kids or your friends have kids or anyone you know has kids go to their school and advertise (a lot of little kids like hamsters)
Good Luck!

First... SEPARATE THE MALES FROM THE FEMALES!!! Otherwise you'll be up to your elbows in hamsters in a matter of weeks! They can start breeding at just a few months of age... just think of how many babies 20-30 female hamsters will make! YIKES!
Contact your local pet stores. Many of them will buy baby hamsters from people. When I lived in southern Cali I bred hamsters for several years, selling babies to the local shops. There was a huge demand for my hamsters as I created really cool color combinations through selective breeding, plus they were well socialized.
Be careful giving them away for free. Free snake food sounds REALLY appealing to snake owners. :(

Sorry, I don't live nea that area, but you can give them to your local SPCA. Also, when you have a garage sale, you could give em out there. Good luck! :-)

Definitely STOP letting them breed. Do not give them away to random people because you do not know if they will be safe or treated cruelly. Give them to the ASPCA.
