Movin’ Out

College move out day: a boon for townies in the market for desk chairs, small rugs and smaller fridges. It provides a fabulous opportunity for food donation, one that they’re taking advantage of at Vanderbilt.

The same goes for UConn. There, the Office of Environmental Policy is encouraging donations by calling upon the school’s hoops pedigree through the “Give and Go” program. The more I think about it, that’s a really clever name.

All the move out food collection I’ve seen only accepts non-perishable items. That’s probably for the best, but it means an abundance of one thing: ramen noodles.

Also, I noticed that UConn’s list of possible student-donated items includes vacuums. Ha. Dorm room cleaning–that’s a good one.
