St. Vincent de Paul and Goodwill will host donation areas at campus and downtown locations and in several apartment high-rises to accept clothes, shoes, books, kitchenware and other household items in good, usable condition.
If you live in one of the following downtown apartment buildings, look for a Goodwill donation bin in your building. Items in the donation bins will be given to charity. Please do not take items from the bins.
Moving Days is an opportunity to reduce waste by donating, re-homing or recycling unwanted items. During city moving days, the Office of Sustainability is partnering with the City of Madison, Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Goodwill Industries, WE CONSERVE, and Open Seat Food Pantry to operate several donation stations around downtown apartment buildings and in the campus area.
