If you have magazines that you'd like to donate, be sure to remove or cross out your name and address for security purposes prior to boxing them up for donating.

You can look to donate your magazines at the following locations...

While many charities don't take magazines, they can be donated to nursing homes, retirement communities, shelters, doctor and dentist offices, and schools for crafts or book sale fundraisers.

Ronald McDonald Houses offer local drop offs and they use magazines as a fundraiser. Donating your magazines is therefore a great way to help families with sick children to receive the necessary lodging to keep their family close to the hospital. You can learn more at RMHC.org.

Local craft stores The Art of Recycle in Ephrata, PA (www.artofrecycle.org) and Lancaster Creative Reuse (www.lancastercreativereuse.org) in Lancaster, PA also receive magazine donations.

So after you've enjoyed your magazines consider passing them on to a worthy cause and blessing others with your generosity!
