After years of volunteering with Salvation Army, I would give it to St. Vinnie's. Salvation Army will not give it away, and the 'employees' always got first pick for free. Always disgusted me. They also charge for coffee in disaster zones, too. No one else charges. Call your nearest church, and ask them to find it a new home with someone to use, to make money for the bills. Pay it forward.
