donating used gear

Sent you a PM William.
I'm a high school teacher (Culver City HS) and faculty sponsor of a student-run outdoor club with an emphasis on cycling, hiking, backpacking, and outdoor ethics/skills. We can always use gear to get kids started. Other members of this site have donated in the past (and a few are currently doing so). I can assure you I can get gear into the hands of teenagers that can use it. I can also provide tax deduction forms for donation to a non-profit (as my HS is public, donations to clubs within it also enjoy non-profit status).

Let me know if this is what you're looking for.

Wherever the gear ends up, thanks for thinking of others.

I can vouch for Craig. The gear will get into the hands of kids who will appreciate it.

I have given a lot of gear to the Boy Scouts over the years, however the past couple of times I go nary a "Thank you." so I don't know if it was appreciated, appropriate or even used.

I give most of my gear to a local charity that I approve of highly. They run a couple thrift stores in my area. Usually I suggest pricing so they can get what it is worth. The organization profits and people who need good used gear get a bargain. Win-win situation IMO.
