Each year at the end of Spring Term we collect reusable household goods from PSU resident halls that might otherwise be tossed out. We then select a local non profit to become the beneficiary of the reusable goods. In Spring 2009 we donated over 2,054 lbs of clothes, shoes, blankets and general housewares to benefit Friends of Seasonal and Service Workers. We still have plenty of great household items we'll offer to new students during our PSU ReUses! Rummage Sale held September 21st-23rd, 2009 from 10am-3pm while supplies last. All proceeds from the rummage sale will benefit Friends of Seasonal and Service Workers.
