The title says it all!

Please if anyone has any information for me. Im heading to Germany as many of you already know. I have about a month or so before the movers pick up my stuff. I have boxes and boxes of baseball cards that i need to do something with. I have no clue what is in most of them, but i want to do something nice for less unfortunate kids out there. I live right outside of Shreveport Louisiana.

My first thought is either Good Will or the Airman's Attack that is on the base im stationed at. If anyone has any information what so ever. I need to down size before i leave. Im not doing anything with these cards. Please help me help the Kids!!!

Thank you very much
Contact a local hospital / childrens hospital. They would love to take some off of your hands im sure.
I have donated 10,000s of cards lately.
Goodwill and Children's Network and others..
They pick up at house..and donate them along with the clothes etc..
I would say give your local boys and girls club a call.
Children's hospital is a great idea. Every year the car club I am in does a huge toy drive at a show and I donate toys and some of my older cards that I don't have any need for.
I am not sure if homeless people really cards, but the children's hospital sounds good.
I did goodwill 2 years in a row. I am looking to give more but I don't know when that will happen.
I donated cards to goodwill once. Never again. I'd say childrens hospital. I was told by the goodwill my stuff goes to those who are in need. About 2 weeks later I walked into a goodwill store looking for antiques and found my baseball cards being sold. 1.00 for 2 cards. I asked the cashier about them donating and she says no, we sell the goods in store. I then told her that 1.00 for two cards is overpriced.
I'll do rainbow babies and children hospital next time.

In case you didn't know, Goodwill sells all the items they take in. That is the money they use to help less fortunate, including giving people a job. I love to stop at Goodwill to shop. Get great deals on kids clothing and evry once in a while find some gem items.
I donate mine to Harbor House. People often think of the women there, but sometimes they forget the kids.
