Give & Go 2026
Give & Go is Pacific's annual dorm move-out donation event. If you have clothing, room decor, toiletries, electronics, books, etc that you no longer need - don't throw them away, donate them! Donation stations will operate across campus during the undergraduate exam period and again on Commencement Sunday for graduating seniors and late check-outs.
Donating during the Exam Period
Donations will be accepted daily from Saturday, May 9 through Wednesday, May 13 in:
- Lot G (between McCormick and Walter)
- Lot K (between Gilbert and Vandervelden)
- Cascade Lobby
- Burlingham Lobby
These donation stations will be open from 11am-5pm, except on the 13th when we close at noon along with the dorms.
Donating on Commencement Sunday
Senior and late-check-out donations will be accepted on May 17 in:
- Gilbert Lobby
- Burlingham Lobby
- Vandervelden Path (or Laundry Room if it is raining)
- UC Patio
These stations will be open from 10am-1pm.
What can you donate?
Give & Go accepts almost everything. The only exceptions are opened or perishable food, mattress pads, and large furniture (contact the Forest Grove Habitat for Humanity Restore at 503-357-1201 to arrange a campus pick-up for any items too large for an individual to carry on their own).
In 2025, the Give & Go program accepted over 10,000 items from departing students! All of these items ran the risk of entering the waste stream without efforts of the Give & Go staff and the collaboration of all event sponsors. We deeply appreciate everyone who helps make these events possible - and particularly the students who donate!

...and if you want to get started early, don't forget that the Finders Keepers Free Store accepts campus donations 24/7 during the academic year!
All events are listed in Pacific time zone unless otherwise noted.
