Anywhere people in need, can get something free.

There are many people interested in an escape, and free magazine is a short cut to get there.

Good on you!

I would sometimes, pre-covid, bring some to doctors' offices when they only had golfing magazines. For public libraries, though, don't bring so many it's overwhelming for staff

Some high schools have Culinary Departments, as do many community colleges.
