When students move out of their residence halls at the end of the year, they donate gently used items like linens, bathroom and kitchen supplies, clothing, and unopened food stuffs. We keep all these items out of landfill by donating food to the Feed U Pantry and redistributing everything else to students in a free pop-up thrift shop at the beginning of the semester. The program, fondly known as “WGACA,” helps meet students’ basic needs, promotes a circular economy, and moves toward a zero waste campus.

If you want to ensure access to these items for the fall semester, please contact the Basic Needs Collective.
