I make beaded necklaces and earrings. I have a number of beads I know I will never use and would like to donate them. These are good quality beads made from glass and stone. Any suggestions?

Contact Youth and Senior Centers, battered women's centers in your area, donate to thrifts, homeless shelters, etc. Also check Freecycle in your area.
I would gladly take them and put them to great use as I love to bead also. Hi. My name's Ava . Thank you.
This was posted over 5 years ago so I'm afraid these beads have already been given away. I would check on Freecycle or other social media for your local area.
Any nursing or assisted living facility would love to have them. The older ladies love making jewelry.
Thanks, I'll try that.
make sure the beads are not small! eyesight and dexterity deteriorates with age
I make memory wire bracelets and other little bracelets to not only go in shoe boxes at Xmas but to go to orphanages in South Africa. This helps my manual dexterity which is affected by my multiple sclerosis.
My name is Eva Myers, I am 64 years old, I also design and make jewelry ,I also work with clay, crochet ,etc. I was in a bad accident at my job and everything to a stop. I am starting over and would love it if I could some supplies of all kinds, anything would help ,its like an answer to a prayer .I worked at a Strawbridges here in N. j. I sold furniture, carpets, rugs bedding and did some interior decorating. I realy miss working, but I can barely walk now I am looking at about 3 surgeries, but I don,t just sit in my room , but I can't stand or walk much.
My phone is being fixed,the storm knocked out the line
Eva: My name is Jan Butler, I am also 64 and am giving away quite a bit of jewelry supplies. Everything from beads, wire, findings etc. to displays. If you are interested in some of it I would like to send you some of it but shipping costs may be an issue as Im on a fixed budget.
