We partner with Smokey’s Pantry, Goodwill, and other area non-profits at the end of each semester to ensure that items students haven’t used during the semester don’t end up in the landfill. Instead, students can donate new and certain lightly used items in their residence halls during the move-out period.
During move-out donation time, labeled donation bins are located in the lobby of each residence hall.
