Who Accepts Donated Stuffed Bears?

I used to have a collection of stuffed animals, and now I want to donate the animals to be used for kids in need. However, I am not sure where I can donate these stuffed bears. They are used I guess, but they were mostly just displayed. They were only played with a few times when we had kids over visiting. Who accepts donated stuffed animals? I was thinking it would be nice if I could give them to a battered womens shelter, but I don't know how to go about it, or even how to find a shelter in my area that would be interested.
