The Center for Sustainability and the Environment (CSE) will be hosting the annual Thrift Fair next semester, in partnership with Albion College AmeriCorps. We are currently looking for gently used, clean clothes with no rips or stains. Donating used clothes you no longer wear is a great way to keep clothing out of landfills and promote sustainable fashion.

We will be collecting donations November 29 and 30 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and January 18 and 19 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the first floor of the KC. The proceeds made from this event will go towards the CSE Green Fund and Albion community organizations.
