In 2010, we succeeded in donating an estimated <strong>11,651 lbs<\/strong> of material! This included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>2,517 lbs<\/strong> of house wares and miscellaneous materials<\/li>\n<li><strong>872 lbs<\/strong> of food, toiletries, and school supplies<\/li>\n<li><strong>5,262 lbs<\/strong> of clothing and linens<\/li>\n<li><strong>~3,000lb<\/strong> of scrap wood<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This year we hope to increase our donation weights by providing each residence hall room with their own move-out kit, which includes a door hanger with detailed instructions, plus bags for sorting their donated material. This will allow students to sort material in their rooms before bringing it downstairs or out to the dumpster.
