Do you have a county computer recycling center (or school district) in
your area that might have use for them?
More likely #2 than #1, but I live in the South Bay Area CA and
there's the Alameda County Computer Recycling Center (accrc.org) -
they do this sort of thing all the time, and look for donated
equipment to give to lower income families. Additionally from time to
time there are events with shelters in the area to evangelize Linux in
general (and sometimes Ubuntu) to lower-income families who don't want
to or can't afford proprietary solutions.
