Give & Go is Pacific University's move-out donation event! At the end of each school year, the Tom McCall Center for Civic Engagement invites students to donate usable clothing, furniture, toiletries, electronics and books they no longer need as they are moving out of residence halls. 

The MCCE partners with nonprofit organizations in Washington and Multnomah counties to keep those items out of the landfill and get them to people in need. In 2023 there will be multiple opportunities for folks at Pacific and from surrounding communities to both donate and collect items.

You can learn more about why this event matters and how to collect items in Finders Keepers: Free Yard Sale at our Give & Go page.

Give & Go will take place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 13 to 16. On May 17, we will have a shorter donation window as the dorms close at noon, and so will our collection.
