We cleaned out my kids toy box & have like 3 boxes of toys to give away. I don't want to give them to Good Will or some place where they'll turn around and sell them. I'd rather give them to a cause/foundation or orphanage or some place where kids in need will appreciate them.

Where is a good place to donate them? I currently live in Addison, so nothing too to far. :-)

Thanks for your help! :-)

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

A lady that works at Early Childhood Intervention Program picked them up. They serve many underprivileged families. She said toys are very important for their work as they provide an excellent tool to aid kids that need help achieving their milestones.

I'm glad they're going to a good "home" :-)

How thoughtful of you to donate toys to kiddos who will love them!
Is there a children's hospital or a Ronald McDonald house near you? When my daughter was in the hospital when she was little, the toys were the one thing that made the hospital seem a little more like home. Also, when families stay at the RMH they sometimes have younger siblings that would enjoy the benefit of some toys to play with that their parents don't have to carry to and from home.
Good luck and God bless!

You might also check out a local daycare, especially one that might have a lot of attendants who are on subsidized child care vouchers. You could ask the director to disburse them as she saw fit, according to need.
