Where I live, animal rescue organizations accept sheets and towels - maybe the same by you?

Use them for dropcloths when you paint.  Or to drape over furniture in storage, to protect from dust and dirt.

I agree with the local animal shelter if you have one. Ours runs on donations only and really need towels, sheets,etc.

I use them as "dropcloths" underneath my Hollies when I shear them.  Helps a lot with the cleanup afterwards.  I also sometimes use them to cover plants when needed.

If my niece doesn't want them to sell at her yard sales, then I donate them to the local Christian Services store.
