The Sustainability Committee is sponsoring Simmons first Project Move-Out, a program to collect students’ discarded dorm room items and donate them to local non-profit organizations. Project Move-Out is designed to decrease campus waste during move-out while benefiting a variety of programs, including domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, and rape crisis and sexual assault programs.

- Clothing
- Non-Perishable Food Items

- Rugs
- Household Items (kitchenware, utensils, Tupperware, etc.)
- Books
- Bedding (towels, comforters, blankets, etc.)
