I was thinking of charities that specifically take old electronics to refurbish and give to people, not thrift shops where it'd rot on the shelf. Just stuff so people who, for example, might not have have a consistent home or the means to get a phone are reachable by social services.
This was a bigger thing years ago, but maybe it's not as much anymore. All I could find was Cell Phones For Soldiers.
