Clothing Donations, Volunteers Wanted for Earth Day

Each year the Earth Day celebration at Georgia Tech attracts people from not only campus, but also from Atlanta and the entire Southeast. Right now, donations are being accepted for the event’s clothing swap and volunteers are wanted for day-of assistance.

The clothing swap lets students, faculty, and staff donate clothes they no longer want or need and shop the closets of others in the Tech community. Donations are being accepted now through April 2, and the swap will take place at the Earth Day celebration. Any clothes left at the end of the event will be donated to local charitable organizations.

Volunteers are also needed to make the day a success. Volunteers can specify an area where they would like to help or can be assigned where they are needed. Learn more and sign up here.

Clothes can be dropped off at several locations on campus, including Burdell’s, the Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons, Howey Physics Building, Coon Building, Graduate Living Center, Whitaker Building, and Ferst Center for the Arts. (View a map of all dropoff locations.)

Georgia Tech’s Earth Day celebration will take place Friday, April 17. Learn more at www.earthday.gatech.edu.
