Folks-this is really old thread and I doubt the originators are even around any longer. I don't think you are going to get anything and you are just exposing your email for data minining. And I think THIS thread references an even older one where a member had been collecting information in a list she shared. But that was 4+ years ago.
There have been a few threads in the past where Forum members posted companies that donated (or didn't) so you may want to check the archives by using the search tool. Note, however, that:
1) What works/doesn't work for one person may be a completely different experience for another
2) People, contacts, budgets, circumstances are constantly changing - the information may no longer be valid
3) Everyone seems to agree your best resources are those in the local community
4) There are instances where someone shares a source, that company gets overwhelmed by requests, and then they cut back or change policy.
I don't want to discourage you from trying to share - or to solicit from national chains/corporate headquarters. I just don't think you are going to have much luck posting to this particular thread.
Here's a newer thread that might help you.

At least it's from this year.
When you see an older posting from someone who might have something to share, click on their name, then look at "all posts by ____". You'll see an index with timestamps. If they haven't posted anything in months/years - they probably aren't around to respond.
Good luck.
