donating stuffed animals

[rosierjay]

so i have a ton of stuffed animals from my childhood and early adult like that are new with tags and well... they are nice, but i know stuffed animals are near impossible to sell.
so aside from a few really rare and htf ones i'll be donating them.
and i think i found a place to donate them.

has anyone ever heard of them?
know anything about them?
or know of a better place to donate plushes?
i don't want to donate them to a recycle shop, mostly cuz i know they will sit there forever, and if i see them, i know i'll break down and rebuy them... very counter productive. plus i don't want people buying them only to resell. i want them going to children and being loved. why i want to donate them to an organization that specializes in this kind of thing.
does this one look reputable?

I hear ya. You can't seem to give stuffies away and I agree, resellers hurt my feelings (especially when when I try to sell things cheaper to fellow collectors)...

If you want to go local maybe a BABES, church or domestic violence shelter? Don't think they're something the red cross necessarily requests.

Churches, daycares, and foster care.

I think I saw this organization on the news once after a disaster but I really can't remember.

You might call your local police station.  Mine takes new stuffed animals and the officers keep one in the car to give to a child that might be involved in a domestic dispute, gets lost, etc.

I know of a better place.

When I was in grade school mom used to play thecrane game specifically to get the prizes for sick kids in a local hospital.

She was in the news about it..I remember wanting to go with her but ofcorse I had to go to school instead ><

Why don't you see if you can donate them to something local and help your community out.  Hospitals--or I agree with police, firefighters, heck even your library or local school or daycare.
