The SWAPR Hub is officially open! Check it out today from 1pm – 5pm in the Kenyon volleyball gym. For more open days, check out our schedule post. Come browse and grab clothes and other items completely free. Look at all the stuff available already. Hope to see you there!
Have you gone into your House MPR or Apartment laundry room recently? If you have then you’ve definitely seen all of the SWAPR bins! Start thinking of packing up and donating items you don’t need.
Collecting
Not Collecting
SWAPR is so soon! Start thinking about what things might not fit when you are packing for home. Perhaps some old T-Shirts you don’t wear or a small lamp fixture. All of these kinds of items can be put in the residence house SWAPR boxes. A box will be in each dorm, usually in the MPR, also in the TH, TA, and Soco laundry room, from May 6-20th. The SWAPR hub in Kenyon Gym, will also be open from 1-5pm through May 11-16th as well as May 18-28th. If you are looking for a style or room refresh, then SWAPR is your perfect chance at a free Vassar thrift shop, for all things textiles, small furniture, fridges, books, and other miscellaneous items.Â
If you have any questions email Kyra Hoffman khoffman@vassar.edu
SWAPR is right around the corner and it cannot be possible without our student volunteers! SWAPR is Vassar’s Stop Waste and Promote Reuse program, an annual move-out waste reduction effort. Clothes, books, and other items that students are looking to get rid of are collected in Residence Halls, TA’s, TH’s, and SOCO laundry rooms and then are brought into the Kenyon Gym which becomes the SWAPR hub from May 6th-27th.Â
THIS CANNOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU! We need student volunteers to help us achieve our goals. We offer three positions with the following responsibilities
