Is there anywhere in the Cincinnati area that I can donate very gently used stuffed animals?

My two daughters would like to donate many stuffed animals to other children for use, not for resale. These are in excellent condition, barely used at all. Please advise if there is a facility that will take these to sterilize and pass on to other children.

1. wash them, air dry, cut off tags & ribbons, and donate them to the local ER.
2. Yes, I think a children's hospital would be a good place. Or else take them to your local police station. My friend (who is a cop) always carries some stuffed animals in his car for domestic abuse situations. (if they have to remove a child at night) It's very comforting for the child and I know the station would appreciate the donations! Good luck! A women's shelter is always a good idea too as women usually escape with their children in tow.
3. I volunteer at Good Samaritan hospital in Clifton. They might appreciate something like that. If not, then any Goodwill store would definitely love that. It's the Christmas season, so there is a good place.
