I would suggest giving your craft materials to some organisation that is not supported financially by government or local authorities, so schools, etc would be out.
My wife is a Division Commissioner in Girlguiding UK, the largest non-political organisation for girls and young women in the world. They receive no financial support from state, L.E.A., lottery, etc and I am absolutely certain that if you made your most generous offer to a local Guide, Brownie or Rainbow Unit they would snap your hands off - with gratitude!! If there are no units in your area contact Girlguiding UK (www.girlguidinguk.org.uk )and ask for your nearest Division Commissioner's contact number.

What a wonderful gift!!
I would suggest going for someone in need. Any school can put it to use but I'd check for some local shelters that have day cares.
Every state has a local 24 hour emergency helpline and referral agency. You'll find it in the front of your phone book. Call them up and they can probably tell you of an agency that needs it like a group foster home or children's shelter!

Homeless shelters that take in children are always in need of activities for the children to do.
Also there are shelter groups for foster care that take in children in emergency situations. They are often are over looked but are always looking for donations. They are always looking for activities they can do with the kids to keep their minds busy and off of the situation they are in.
Contact a local foster care program and they will guide you to their location for shelter care.
And of course there are always the typical schools, day care, scout groups, senior citizens homes, church groups... any non-profit group...
Any donation you do anywhere should be greatly appreciated, and art and craft supplies can be extremely expensive. But 10 boxes... WOW!!!!!

In addition to all the qualities taught that you mentioned. Girl Scout cookies are more or less a charitable expense....or at least can be viewed as an expense to benefit others in some way. You had every right to expect change and shouldn't feel obligated to do more than buy the cookies for the "cause".

You can donate Craft materials/supplies at any charity shop...
They are always grateful for donations as they go for a good cause.

Battered women centers, Assisted Living Centers, Schools, Day Care Centers, Homeless Shelter (esp if there are children), Retirement Centers - HOSPITALS (children's ward)!!!!!
All kinds of places you can take that stuff....Divide it up and take it to several places.

Your local primary school, kindergarten, guide unit or scout troop would be delighted to receive. If you have that much, you could pass some over to everyone!

Schools would be able to put these to good use, to train others.
