Quilt magazines
#11
I donated all of mine pre-2000, to a church in downtown Paducah to see if they could sell them at their thrift store - all of their money goes to help repair cars for needy people in the community. My DD lives in Paducah and she takes all of my "garage sale" type stuff with her when she comes here to MO to visit us, back to Paducah and gives the stuff to the church for their thrift store ministry. She was just here for Thanksgiving (5 hours away) and took back a lot of my things for the church.

We have a give and take table at our quilt guild and that's where I get all my magazines. I take them, read them, keep what I want and bring the rest back. Everyone scrambles for the magazines. I'm sure if you had a guild in the area you wouldn't even have to be a member to find a home for your magazines. Our guild often accepts fabric and other quilting things from non members.

I never can understand throwing away usable items. All my magazines go to the library where they resell them.
When I was in a quilt guild, I took them there and they would resell them.
Our senior center also accepts books and magazines so people can take and keep them or borrow for free.
Local schools may want them for arts and crafts.

We have a local homeless shelter and I donate everything including quilting/craft magazines to their thrift store. The money goes to support the shelter. Please don't recycle the if you have any other outlet. Folks who can't afford to subscribe really love to get them at a bargain price.
