I have Jumper(Graco), Carseat + Capri Stroller(Chicco) weight – 11lb up to 37lb, Toys and more,
which Goodwill not take . Does anybody has a some ideas where can I donate them?
Thanks, M..
There's a store called once upon a child... there was one in oceanside ca so there might be one by you.
I definitely agree with itsacrazylife, find a teenage pregnancy shelter. That's who I'd want it to go to... that or battered women shelters (if there are moms there).
You could also look up Catholic Charities if there is one in CA. They have connections to women's groups and shelters as well as teen pregnancy shelters/hotlines.
I would post them on Craigslist or Freecycle.com. I am sure that someone out there would GREATLY appreciate your kindness.
St. Vincent Depaul usually has stores that will take that kind of items
Craigslist or freecycle!
try freecycle.com or any of the local womens shelters.
Your local battered women's shelter would probably LOVE to get them. Any doestic violence shelter will be happy to take them. Half-way houses for young single moms etc... All of these places almost always need stuff for kids.
Sometimes Babies R Us will take them and give you a discount for those items....
.
Maybe check if there is a women's shelter in your area where you could donate them or try googling for a resale boutique that takes infant equipment. :)
Try local women's shelters. If they can't use them, they can probably locate other groups who would be glad to have them. There's actually a food bank in a local community that is happy to pass car seats on to families unable to buy them new.
(Also check out Craig's List and Freecycle. There are liability concerns with used safety equipment, and that might be one of the restricted items.)
Hi M.-
I have a girlfriend who just had a baby and another friend with one on the way. when I had my kids I loved hand be downs. If they are in good condition and you live close I can take them off your hands for you. If you still have them please send me a personal message.
thanks

Savers is a store that takes donations much like Goodwill. I just went to their webpage and did a store search for Castro Valley, CA and found 2 store listings within 20 miles of you.

My husband takes ours to Catholic Charities. He says they are always VERY happy about it.
I'm not sure about the car seat (due to safety) unless you know someone that is pregnant that would like it. As for the rest of it, shame on Goodwill. I have donated mine to the American Cancer Society, Womans Shelters, etc. Usually I get the postcard that they will be in my neighborhood. They have always taken everything I have left out for them. Good luck.
You might try freecycle. You can post what you have on your local community freecycle site and someone is sure to snatch it up. Google it.
