Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.  There are obviously lots of
great places to choose from.  I ended up going with Triangle
Residential Options for Substance Abusers (TROSA)a 501(C)(3)
organization.  TROSA, www.trosainc.org as they have a moving truck, a
couple guys, and were willing to come immediately to pick them up...
as well as being extremely enthused about the potential donation for
their org.

thanks,
David
