At the end of each semester, outgoing students living in campus housing throw away or leave behind furniture, appliances and clothes.

Instead of seeing these items end up in the dumpster, University Housing wants to partner with a local nonprofit organization to set up donation centers within our residence facilities at the end of the Fall semester.

We invite your organization to apply to be this year’s recipient of items donated by campus residents in December during Winter Break 2021. The Leave Green program connects community organizations with donations made by on-campus residents.

The selected organization is expected to pick up the items donated by December 17, prior to the closure of residence halls for winter break. A volunteer student group (COMM 2343) will be available to assist.

Items deemed appropriate for reuse will be at the discretion of the recipient organization.

Donation boxes should be placed in the residential facilities Monday, Nov. 29 and picked up on Friday, Dec. 17.

University Housing maintains more than 20 buildings.

Please submit the application by Friday, Oct. 29 to be considered.

The organization selected will be notified no later than Monday, Nov. 15.
