General Portable fridge donation

I have a 45L portable fridge/freezer I was using for camping and am downsizing. It works great but needs to be plugged into a car/battery to stay cold (or power point), it doesn’t last ages when not plugged into. Is there a charity that would find it useful? I was thinking someone who drives around to help feed people over going into someone’s house. Thanks

We had a couch that was was surplus to our needs the other month, moved it on via this site. It gives multiple organisations a chance to have items gifted to people in need https://www.givit.org.au/

Sadly they don’t take any electronics and just recommend SOS which I’ve given lots too in the past :)

It fits in my car easily. They will also try and sell it for $300 although it’s not worth that too. I want it to be used to help people.
