A couch a UCCS student purchased from a Goodwill store, along with other household furnishings, carpeting, clothes and electronic devices destined for the dumpster filled will be used again thanks to the May 9-14 campus Goodwill Project.
In addition to the items, the annual Goodwill Project collected about 100 pounds of food for a local food bank, according to event organizer Nancy Gadachy, office manager, Student Health Center.
Photos of Gadachy and student donors show dozens of bags and boxes holding items to be given a second life, along with rugs, lamps, and what Gadachy called "lots and lots of shelving."
Gadachy thanked all donors and volunteers as well as Goodwill Industries for bringing collection trucks to campus. She also urged the campus community to recycle as much as possible to support sustainability.
