The YMCA at VT's student program, Y-toss, is going to be conducting its annual Y-toss Collection from May 7-12, 2021 on the VT campus.
Y-toss is the Y's largest and signature sustainability initiative on campus. Y-toss collects gently used items from students moving out of the residence halls and prevents them from going to the landfill by repurposing them and hosting a sale in the fall semester where students can buy these items to furnish their residence hall rooms/apartments. We accept microwaves, refrigerators, desk hutches, housewares, etc. We do this by placing PODS containers across campus for students to put their donations in.
We need volunteers to staff the PODS containers to make sure that students place the items in the PODS and to make sure the pods are being kept tidy so we can maximize the space for donations. We will provide safety equipment such as gloves, hand sanitizer, cleaning supplies, etc. We will also follow local health guidelines for socially distancing in outdoor settings.
To sign up to volunteer, please visit our website, www.vtymca.org/ytoss to see our volunteer sign up sheet or you can click here.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon!
