getting rid of stuff

I'm going home in about a month and will probably need to leave a lot of stuff behind. Lots of clothes; also a quilt or two and a space heater (one of those oil-filled radiator style ones), rice cooker, maybe some books (English novels and advice-type books). I hate to just trash things, though, especially since a lot of that stuff is still quite nice. Does anyone know of places that take donations? Or would anyone like any of that stuff?
I suppose for the clothing you'll be wanting to know something about my sex and size before you decide if you can use it. Undecided

I'm a woman. I usually wear medium-size shirts and maybe size 6(?) skirts and dresses. I'm not sure how to describe my pants size--in the US it's a 9, but in China I don't remember--I think I've bought something like 80, but the pants I've bought here don't fit that well. Honestly, you probably won't want my pants anyway. My shoes are also 9 US and in China usually 39 or 40, but most of my shoes are pretty beat up, too.
It may take me a couple of weeks before I sort out what I'm keeping, but if you know of a place I could take stuff or if you think you could use something let me know.
