OVERVIEW

Community Closet was created to give students an opportunity to update their wardrobes while having a positive net impact on the environment. It is a free store where students can get clothing and household items at no cost, or donate gently used items if they are able. Thank you for your kindness, with your support we can positively impact other students and the communities in which we operate. Please read through the donation guidelines before bringing in your goods.

How to donate

Bring your items to the CSU Library Lounge (Library 195) during hours of operation. Items must be clean and in good condition. If you are donating clothes, they must have been recently washed. We are able to accept up to 10 items per donation.
