there's lots of us who are on a tight budget but can send $ for postage. Nursing home are another place that you can donate them to. Or a guild that collects fabrics for downy/abused/sick children could possibly appreciate these mazagines for idea & patterns. JUST A FEW IDEAS, hope this helped? :wink:
Nursing homes can't use magazines like cross stitch or quilting. They love to get large print books, but most of the residents can't do crafts like these anymore. the crafts they do are usually with styro. trays and yarn or pictures pasted onto light weight trays. I know this because I have been going to the nursing home for 14 years and have even helped with crafts and not too many of those dear sweet people can master crafts. The help ususally has to help them with it. You could try the Senior Center or Independent Living (Retirement Home). they are usually more able to do things like crafts.
