Deacs Donate originated as
a new project Spring 2002. The original organizers conceived of the project
as a means to reduce landfill waste while simultaneously helping
local Winston-Salem charities. The program is accomplished through a campus-wide
collection program during residence hall closing in May.
Collection:
During May closing, Deacs Donate sets up collection bins in all residence
halls for student donations - clothes, storage units, shoes,
books, toys, linens, furniture, carpets, etc. These donations
are collected for
use in benefiting a local charity.
Deacs Donate became a part of RSA (Resident
Student Association) in the fall of 2003. RSA’s support
along with the Office of Residence Life & Housing
and student volunteers have helped sustain the project. It
continues to thrive today, adding new projects and services
each year!
