I have almost an entire house worth of electronics like TVs, computer monitors, computer towers, a couple cd players, DVD players, and furniture/household goods I'd like to donate. Anyone have a suggestion of where to take them where people who actually need them can benefit from them. Was thinking either Mustard Seed or Drop-In centre, but seeing if anyone knows of other charities that could really use them.

I have donated to Goodwill previously, it's a good option.
I prefer the Women In Needs Society (WINS). I suspect for that quantity, they'll come pick it up as well.
They have several locations, but I think the furniture is only accepted at the Forest Lawn location.

Isn't Goodwill just a for profit business? Or is that a myth?

They claim only 17% operational cost. The rest goes back to people.
But just like all charities, there are always fat cats leeching at the top.

http://www.womeninneed.net/donate-goods/ i've used WINS, but it always seems like its inconvenient for them ben you drop stuff off, so i have started giving my stuff to the salvation army store on 17th ave se by the shoppers drug mart, they always seem quite appreciative of any drop offs.
