I second what About posted; nursing homes, senior centers, schools, libraries, etc. are great places for books. Toys can be donated to daycares, nursery schools, hospitals. Here in NYC there are some great organizations for giving larger items a second life. Just takes a little research to find them. A group called Baby Buggy takes old strollers, high chairs, cribs, clothes etc. off your hands. (Any moms out there know how hard it is to unload those little space piggies when you are down with them. I have even stopped pregnant women in my building I don't know to ask them what they needed.) They work with social services to place things directly into the hands of those who need them. Another idea for those who don't have such organizations is to host themed swaps- baby gear, books, even household junk. For the extra motivated- you could even create your own group.organicneedlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283388587277778847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31644890.post-72096392649948513082008-01-07T08:09:00.000-08:002008-01-07T08:09:00.000-08:00Usually I turn my old stuff into art crafts and de...Usually I turn my old stuff into art crafts and design concepts, I still may use freecycle though, specially when I can't find the thing I need in my stuff :] that's very useful, thanks ^^<BR/>but I emotionally bounded with my books, I even like it's paper smell!
