    Bought 4 MP3 Players in the spring and want to donate them for Christmas as I know teens are usually not donated to often. Does anyone know where in York Region I could donate them to?

    I don't want to travel further then Richmond Hill.

    EDIT: I found this website the other day:
    http://www.town.aurora.on.ca/aurora/...770&lang=en-CA

    Chum started their Christmas Wish Toy Drive. They have drop off points in every RBC.
    I believe that's what I just heard in half-listening mode.
    They mentioned donations for older kids. Good for you

    Thanks! Now let me go to both websites and determine where the closest one is lol.

    I'd still like people to keep me posted with any other options only because I don't feel trusting droping them in a bin with wrapping paper only for someone not needing them to take them if ya know what I mean.

    You could try a youth group too?

    Like Lisa's idea-suggest you check with any churches that do outreach to youth or organizations providing youth programs-there might be a Christmas gift program where parishioners sponsor families in need or try to provide youth with useful things and a gift at this time of year.
    I can understand PurpleBunny's concern about unattended donations possibly getting legs and not reaching intended persons via charity.

    Oh, I found your region's website for community organizations-have a look:
