Greening NOLA Spring Campus Move Out

The Challenge: Every spring, literal tons of usable school supplies, home goods, toiletries, and furniture are left behind and trashed on the Tulane & Loyola campuses.

The Opportunity: These materials can be repurposed in our community by over a dozen nonprofits: Mutual Aid Groups, Food Pantries, Teacher Resource Centers, Recovery Houses, and Community Lighthouses all need supplies and able to get them directly into the hands of under-served families.

The Solution: You! We need Volunteer Teams to help with the Greening NOLA Spring Campus Move Out! Your team of volunteers will intercept, collect, sort, and distribute these goods to Community Partners preventing usable materials from becoming wasted trash
 

From May 2-13, we need to fill 100 volunteer slots per day. Sign up now to volunteer with your company, corporate group, or community team.

WHEN/WHERE: May 2nd-8th (Uptown Campuses) and May 9-13th (Metairie Sorting Hub)

TIME: Volunteer Orientations at 8a, 12p, 2p, and 5p each day

WHAT: Receiving and sorting donations from collection sites.

HOW: Sign up for your group HERE. Details will be communicated via email. A complete orientation packet will be sent the week prior with FAQs.
 

What your group will receive:

• Fleeting (non-eternal, sorry) Glory
• After Party Celebration at STEM Library Lab
• T-shirt design
• Recognition on Greening NOLA and participating nonprofits' social medias and newsletters
