CHARITY Donation - Fishing Gear

[diggyj]

Was wondering if anyone knew of a Childrens Charity or other that would take used rods, reels and tackle? I would like to donate some stuff after cleaning out the boathouse. I have 5 complete rod/reel outfits, 5 reels and 2 full tackle boxes.

 

I would like it to be a charity that helps kids learn to and get involved with fishing.

 

Contact info appreciated.

Give Big Brothers and Sisters a call, I'm sure they could use it.

OFAH has there traveling tackle van & some area libraries have a tackle loaning set up, I have a 4-H Fishing club with members that would use it if you don't find any where else

I have donated a fair bit of stuff to the OPP. They have a great Cops & Kids fishing program and always need fishing stuff. Another option would be Cottage dreams. It is a charity that donates stays at cottages to folks recovering from cancer. A couple of rods and some plastic grubs always make a kids stay at the cottage more fun.
