I have a pack I won’t be using again that someone here in Spain might appreciate. Rather than take it back to the U.S., I’d like to donate it here in Santiago. Is that even possible? And if so, where?

Come on by tomorrow, @Peacemaker, and we will be happy to accept it for others to use

Pilgrim House
Rua Nova 19 (a couple blocks behind the Cathedral)
10am - 4pm

If no one needs it after this season, we usually donate things to Caritas or other charitable organizations.

Welcome to Santiago!

I made the donation at Pilgrim House where they said they’ll put it to good use. Then my wife and I had a wonderful conversation with the folks there. They do good work, and if any pilgrims want to process their thoughts and emotions about their journey, or just talk with someone, I highly recommend a visit.
