Update on the original query:
After a bit of research it appears there is not an organization specific to this reoccuring need in the Denver metro area so I'm coordinating a donation directly with Denver Human Services - Foster Care.
My drop-off appointment is scheduled a couple of weeks out which gives me a little time to mention that if anyone has a gently used suitcase of any size that they would like to donate, I'd be happy to pick up & deliver on your behalf, at the same time I make my donation.
Thanks.
To the mods: I think this is a better fit for the wanted section. Please move if you agree. Thank you.
I just saw these guys today with a table full of backpacks. They wanted you to buy a backpack and then immediately donate it back for kids in need to use as luggage during transitions. https://www.childhelp.org/states/colorado/
Actually luggage would be better IMO.
I contacted several groups who have 'outreach' programs in Colorado but are not based here... none of them were interested in gently used suitcases, only money.Quote:

You might also consider Men's and Women's homeless/struggling/addiction foundations. The Stout Street Foundation here in Denver helps homeless/addicted get back on their feet. A nice new set of luggage for them might be a great transition point.

I've got a contact in child protective services I can hit up if you'd like. Also, there are a few halfway houses around town that might be interested.
