Yes

A brief description of the program:

For several years, Pacific University’s Department of Housing and Residence Life coupled with the Office of Facilities Management have tried to reduce or eliminate the amount of reusable items that end up in the waste stream. We have continued to build partnerships with many on-campus and off-campus organizations to help redirect unwanted materials when students pack to head out of the residences. During Move-Out, we provide areas in each of the residence halls where students can donate items such as non-perishable food, clothing, school supplies and books, and household items that have then been donated to local agencies or organizations who find them a new home.
