Move Out Matters
“Ohio University, local non-profit organizations and the Athens County Fairgrounds host a Community Give Back Day. Each Res Hall will have a donation station, which a student can drop off unwanted materials including: carpets, small appliances, clothes, bedding, furniture and food. The donated materials are collected and sorted throughout finals week and prepped for the big event.
Community Give Back Day is a two-day event which is open to the public. Community members are provided a pre-organized food box with staple items, chips, breakfast bars and more. A family or individual is allowed one large item of furniture (futon, desk couch..), up to 25 articles of clothing, unlimited rugs, small appliances and bedding.
This year 90,405 lbs. was collected and donated back to the Athens community.”
