Great idea. I guess I'm gonna be looking for something here, too. Last year, my daughter's kindergarten wanted to help with our equivalent of food banks, and they especially asked for children's clothes because many people couldn't afford proper winter clothes for their children. That's when I finally decided to donate all the clothes my then four-year-old daughter didn't fit any more (even from her first year of life!).

On the other hand, my mom and I tried to find someone who'd distribute some good-as-new teddies and other stuffed animals (bought, played with once, then put away). In the end, our pediatrician agreed to give them to the poorer of his patients, but there were many organizations where we were plainly told not to bother.
