What to Do with Postcards?

I used to collect postcards. I have well over 2000 from all over the US and all over the world. I now have a pretty big container. I tried to sell them on ebay but they don't sell for anything. Now I think I just want to donate them. Do you have any suggestion on who or what could use these? Some are new and some are used and have words on the back - sometimes regarding what the postcards are about.

Thanks for the suggestions!

What can I do next?

Bree, thank you for considering donating these cards. I asked a very similar question on this site a few months ago and a mom suggested donating the items to Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas (downtown, I think). The cards can be used by its patients as they work toward recovery.

I mailed my cards in and Scottish Rite quickly responded with a letter confirming receipt of the items.

You may need to call ahead and ask about those cards that have writing on the back but I'm sure they can use the blank ones.

Good luck :)

I think they will be great for arts and crafts projects in elementary schools. Maybe try calling your local one to see if they want them.

These seem to be special cards for you to ask the question, someone who might be able to use them are homeschoolers who would use them in history/geography lessons. Google Texas homeschool associations and see what you can find if this is of interest to you.

You might try hospitals, nursing homes, or even scrapbook stores as I'm sure there are some that could use them with collage projects.
