Moving Out?

Donate Your Stuff!

Eco-Reps, in conjunction with Housing & Dining, Salvation Army, City Harvest, Rock and Wrap It Up!, Wearable Collections, Artist Society, and Per Scholas have organized a campaign to help make donating your stuff to local charities easy during Move-Out.
Simply bring your unwanted items to a drop-off location instead of throwing them in the trash.

We'll take care of the rest.

In the SPRING 2007 Students donated 700 lbs of food for City Harvest and filled 3 2/3 26-ft long Salvation Army trucks with donations. Way to go! This year we can do even better.
