Charity (random)
by at 11:26 AM
I have an accumulation of Stuff that I should get rid of. In particular, my old TV, my old netbook, the XO I got from OLPC's "give one get one" program, and a few random perfectly-functional cellphones and iPods and such. Does anyone know of any good charities to which I could donate them?
My criteria:
- Must not be faith-based (or if it is faith-based, must not use their charity as a platform for espousing rubbish)
- Ideally would use the item directly rather than reselling it or recycling it for scrap or the like (so, for example, I'd rather donate my TV to a homeless shelter than to Goodwill, and cellphones to a charity which provides phones to the homeless than to the "cellphones for troops" things that just recycle the phones for pennies on the dollar)
- Should be tax-deductible
- For the TV, should be willing to pick it up themselves or be in San Francisco

The Acer Aspire is, unfortunately, quite unreliable and just shuts down at random. So I don't know if charity is really the right option for it.
For now I'm just going to keep the TV in my bedroom.
Any idea what to do with the cellphones? Also I guess I should do something with my old gamecube too...
