I know this would seem obvious, but we can't seem to find a place to drop off excellent quality kids clothes, toys, and car seats that we no longer have a need for. We want to ensure they get a good home in a household that could really use these type of things. Does anyone have any idea where is the best place to donate these type of things.

If they are lightly used, perhaps you can donate them to CJ92 for when they help out families and people in need :dunno:

Would love to do that, however I was hoping to take all this stuff out today or tommorow. Its taking up tonnes of room in my garage. Thanks for the suggestion though.

They will pay you for items and in turn resell them.

Why are you guys all suggesting he give them to places that resell them?

OP asked for where he could DONATE the stuff... maybe I have the wrong meaning when I think that means it goes out at no cost to the next user.

To OP: post "for free" listings in Beyond Marketplace? Or kijiji/craigslist?

imo if he's donating them, i would stick to the places like womeninneed because it allocates those items to people who need them as opposed to potential ppl on CL and kijiji who just want them

There is someone that posted in events about his sisters house just burning down, she had two small kids from the sounds of things. Maybe there are some they could take before you haul it away??

NM, already posted.
