Every year, students find that there are things in their dorm room they don’t want or need for the summer or next year. Instead of simply throwing away those items, we encourage students to donate them to Give and Go.
Give and Go is program run by the Office of Sustainability through which students can donate all unwanted items to local non-profit organizations that are connected to the United Way of Southeastern Connecticut.
Items that the non-profits have identified as being useful to them are:
- Lamps/Lighting
- Housewares and Supplies
- Electronics
- Clothing/Shoes
- Mini-Fridges
- Bedding/Linens - no foam egg crates or mattresses
- Food
- Books
Donation pick-up runs through finals and senior week, so you can start dropping off goods anytime between Saturday, May 9, and Commencement.
All the Give and Go Collection Points are set up in either the lobbies or common spaces of each dorm. Please donate any items that you do not wish to take home or store over the summer! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Office of Sustainability at sustainability@conncoll.edu.
