From 2009-2019, Give and Go was an initiative hosted by Community Outreach intended to divert waste from landfills by providing students moving out with an easy and accessible way to donate the items they no longer need rather than throwing them out.
After a brief hiatus due to COVID, the program was revamped in 2024 and in only four days of collection, we were able to divert more than 8,000lbs of items from the incineration and into the populations our 8 community partners served.
Give & Go is back this year and we’re aiming to double these numbers this year with donations collected from May 8th-10th & 12th!
