Hello and a request for help

I'm here to ask for help. If I sewed as much now as I did in my younger days, I might have found y'all before this.

This is the situation. We are moving. Now is the time to get rid of all that stuff that one puts at the back of the closet, in the basement, in the attic, etc. Well, I'm looking at four sewing machines. I'll be keeping the Viking and my Grandmother's treadle.

I've found a place that will tear down and dispose of the other two (old portable Singers). My question is does anyone know of a charitable situation that would be interested in them. I'd hate to toss them and find out later that they could have been useful.

If you have a FAQ that answers this, point me at it. BTW, I'm in Minnesota, the TC area, if that is a help.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Give them to the local Salvation Army, post them on your FREECYCLE list, or donate them to a local Women's shelter.

Call your local Women's Center or Christian Assistance Ministries to see if they give you a tax write-off, I know Salivation Army does. Emily

What about a local high school marching band or Drum Corps? They are always repairing flags and uniforms. I do that for all the bands and Drum Corps my kids have been with. I have my own machine, but there are others that have to send it to a tailor to do and pay for the repairs.
