Donate your old stuff, in brief:

In the next couple of weeks, housing residents will have the option of donating their unwanted stuff to Goodwill of Colorado Springs. From May 11 to May 16 in Summit, and May 1 to May 23 in Alpine, outgoing students can take the old stuff they don’t want to bring home, including non-perishable food, to the Goodwill trailers behind Monarch and the north end of Alpine parking lot to be donated to charity. Those who wish to volunteer for the effort can contact Nancy Gadachy at 255-4444 or ngadachy@uccs.edu.
