DEPARTMENT OF RESIDENCE SAVE PROGRAM ANNUAL
FOOD/CLOTHING DRIVE
The Department of Residence and Central Stores collects gently used clothing and unopened, non-perishable food items from students during spring semester move-out. The
food items will be donated to Bethesda Lutheran Church food pantry. The clothing will be
donated to Goodwill allowing them to be reused and keeping them out of the landfills. Donations will begin on April 23rd and there will be boxes labeled outside of the Frederiksen
Court Office until May 13th. Don’t put these things in the trash. Don’t leave them in your
apartment. SAVE these items from the landfill. SAVE the Earth’s resources. SAVE carrying it home. SAVE = SIMPLE ACT VITAL EFFECT
CHECKING OUT?
Please don’t just leave. There is paperwork to complete and keys to return. Contact the
office (515-294-2107) or the CA on Call (515-290-1652) for information on what to do to
have a successful checkout so you can avoid additional charges.
