Salvation Army normally start asking near Xmas and list drop off places. They also ask for older kid pressies - pre-teens and teens. They usually get forgotten. Music, jewellery (doesn't have to be real), hair stuff, whatever.....
Great thread, having the great garage clean out 2013 Ed and no doubt some stuff that would be better served by donation than anything else.
[ASIDE: Whoever came up with the term underprivileged? Sounds like marketing euphemy to mask less comfortable words like poor/in poverty etc. "Oh them? They're not poor, good heavens no, they're just slightly less privileged than the rest of us, please on no account be concerned about them"]

Have you never encountered multiple ways to say the same thing?

Good point, you never hear about overpriviledged or averagelypriviledged kids.
Anyway it seems we have a few options now, the kids (our adult kids) have decided to buy presents for the >insert term here< kids instead of buying stuff for each other that we dont need. Had a good laugh at one place asking not buy Toy Guns (ok fair enough I guess) or razors and aerosols wtf?
I'd really like to donate but, and this is really lame, but I'm a guy in my mid-thirties who doesn't currently have children and I have not the faintest clue what 'the kids' would like.
