Places to donate used toys?

I know a lot of people are collecting new toys to hand out for Christmas, what about used toys?  I know I can donate to Goodwill etc, but I'd rather them be given away not sold in a store.  Do you know where I can give away my used toys to be given directly to kids?

    In Sacramento we have a program that supports women with children. They accept direct donations and they go straight to kids in need.

    Do you guys have some place like that? I know there is the Samaritan House in San Mateo but outside of that I'm not familiar with Bay Area programs.

    I called them about some baby gear and the passed on it all. I will try to give them a call about toys later today. I have a couple bags.

    Otherwise, I have given most of our old toys away to local Mamas. Things that were broken or missing pieces I recycled.

    their facilities aren't all that big so it's possible they turned down the gear since they don't have the space for it. toys i would imagine are always in need.

    I'd check with your local Catholic Charities, I believe they take donations of used toys in good condition for kids...as well as your local shelters.
