Before You Moveout

Fellow Trojans,

It’s the end of the school year, one more test question: How can you give back to the community, help reduce crime and improve the environment?

Answer: The Department of Public Safety and USC Housing have teamed up with the One World Clothing and Shoes and Goodwill to accept your clothing, blankets, bed sheets and non-perishable canned foods donations.

These donation bins will be placed outside various USC Housing buildings, both on and off campus, from Thursday, May 5, to Wednesday, May 18. Bins also will be available in public areas throughout the surrounding USC community from today to Friday, May 13. Click here to view a map of these locations.
