Default Craigs List

DONT FORGET to look at CRAIGs LIST.

I was having a hard time believe it or NOT. Finding somewhere to take my toiletries. I was searching Craigs List (my new found hobby) and TADAH! A local "Mens Half Way House" was asking for donations!!!

I have emailed them and asked for details.

HTH,

Sometimes, I just put up posts on CL listing what I have to giveaway. I get tons of respondents usually from people in my area. I screen as best I can and then give away what I have in lots to share with the most amount of people.

Freecycle is another option for this, too.

Default Boston area donations

In the Boston area, St. Francis House, a day shelter that serves both men and women, is always delighted to receive these.

what a coincidence. i also found a very similar listing on craigslist. i emailed & asked for details, but they never got back to me, so i just let it go. i'm always very skeptical of postings on craigslist, though.

It never dawned on me to put an ad in to get rid of my extra inventory. I have so much deodorant and toothpaste.

Definately, try it. There are a lot of needy people asking for help. All you can do is take their word for it. At least you will can feel good about helping someone out when they asked for help.
