IT guy here, just recycle it. I get the good you're tryna do but giving someone an old Chromebook will just frustrate them lol. Unfortunately they just go to ewaste after a few years. Staples and best buy will typically take older laptops

This is the most popular suggestion for donating computers, but public schools bulk buy from Dell etc with support contracts, they don't want one-off non-standard used hardware.

I'm sorry I don't have any recommendations for you, but I just wanted to commend you for what you are trying to do.

Hopefully your generosity will be a big help to someone!

 

Edit: how the fucking fuck is this post "controversial"???? Fucking shitbag downvoters, fuck you all.
