    Default MCNs for charity?

    I've got about 10-15 MCNs, some were used for about a month, some a couple of times and some never. all good brands and in great condition, and I want to give them to charity or anyone who wants to use MCNs but can't afford to.

    Does anyone know how do I find how to give them to someone who really needs them?

    I also need to do it ASAP because we're moving in a couple of weeks and I don't want to take them with us to the new place.

    That's tricky. Maybe see if there's any organizations near you that provide food & essentials to families and see if they can rehome your nappies.

    Otherwise I'd sell them and give the money to charity?

    You could give Vinnies/salvo's etc a ring or even drop them off at a local church.

    I thought about that but then they'd probably sell it in an op shop rather than give it to someone who needs it...

    I'll do it if there no other way, but I'd prefer to actually give them to someone who can start using then as soon as they get them if you know what I mean.

    I freecycled mine ... asked people to tell me why they wanted them etc and chose one.

    A charity that helped teen mums replied and I gave them the lot.

    Freecycle is good, otherwise you could ROAK them on one of the MCN pages, but it would be likely they'd get swooped by people who aren't in serious need. If you take them to the charity shops, they'll just be onsold in the Op shop...

    You can call your local council and get some numbers of women's shelters, I'm sure they would have many mums who need some and would love your kindness.

    Overseas orphanages would love them!!! Not sure exactly how you'd find one but I'm sure you could google!
