I am putting a list together of places that you can donate and get rid of things in the Cedar Rapids Area. This is the main list of places that I have worked with to help people get things to enrich there lives. Cedar Rapids has many more nonprofits and groups that do this type of work but this is my core list. Another site with more list https://crmoms.com/in-and-around-cedar-rapids/spring-cleaning-donate-stuff-cedar-rapids/ I really feel that things should go to donate to highest and best use for both the giver and receiver.

*** disclaimer this was true when I needed to use these places not sure if they are still open or accepting these items etc. it would be best to checkout websites or call.***
