Assuming that the magazines are fully intact and in decent condition.....Call senior living homes and assisted living facilities to see if they are interested in some of them for their library, common areas, etc. I drop old magazines of any kind off at the local laundrymat because they have a magazine rack . They disappear! I hope they found a new home. Maybe, casually, leave one or two behind at doctors/dentist offices as you wait for your appt. Their selections are older magazines at times. Is there a senior organization that has a meeting place? Donate to Charity quilting groups?

Libraries are not likely to want them. But ask them anyway. Some quilt shops have an area for donated magazines as give-aways. Perhaps they would like them for freebies given to beginner quilting classe participants.

Do you vend? Put them in a crate and offer them as a give-away. Local quilt shows-guilds may use them as a fundraiser or give-away.

Just ASK any of these locations if they would like to have them.

btw,.it could cost $$ to MAIL THEM. ($3-$5 is my guessimation). If you decide to go that route...tell the post office that they are magazines..there is a special price structure for such. Or at least there used to be. Not the route I would have the time or energy for.

i quit subscribing to magazines. Too many are piled under the bed(s). I am not helping magazine sales...which is sad but my PIW (Projects In Waiting) list is already long!
