Hoos ReUse Move Out Donation Drive
UVA's annual Hoos ReUse Move Out Donation Drive provides students living on Grounds an opportunity to donate their gently-used and excess items during move out in an effort to reduce the amount of material sent to the landfill.
See the full list below for accepted items and to find a drop-off location near you. All donated household goods will be redistributed through Goodwill Industries of the Valleys, where they will stay local and directly support our community.
The Donation Drive runs from May 1 - 12, 2025.
