Created in the fall of 2024, Bucky's Closet is SA国际传媒’s student-run on-campus free thrift store. It serves students, staff, and faculty by repurposing second-hand clothing, shoes, accessories, school supplies, and other small items. By reusing resources, we are building a more efficient community, diverting unnecessary waste from landfills, reducing emissions, and saving money. The best part is that this resource is conveniently located on campus and completely FREE!
Bucky's Closet is a collaborative initiative led by multiple departments, including the Career Center, Center for Sustainability, LEAD Scholars Program, Office for Multicultural Learning & Rainbow Resource Center, and more!
Drive-Up Donation Days - Nov 10-12 & Nov 17-19
Clean out your closet and help fill Bucky's Closet!
Drive up to the Main Parking Garage and drop your bagged or boxed clothing at the Campus Safety Services (CSS) Office lobby.
We're in need of ALL SIZES AND TYPES OF CLOTHING in good condition. Emphasis on professional attire, though we also accept casual clothing (but please no workout/sweats/pajamas).
To reach the CSS office, drive all the way down Palm Drive, turn left onto the street in front of the admissions building, and continue to the Campus Safety office on the left. Use the 30-minute loading zone for your convenience. A huge thank you to the Campus Safety Services Office for partnering with us on this drive-up event!
The CSS office is open 24 hours a day, though we are only accepting donations during the event dates. For all other dates, our donation location is Bucky's Closet at Daly Science 317 during normal store hours.
Donate to Bucky's Closet
We accept clothing, shoes, accessories, office/school supplies, and other small items in “like new” to “gently worn” condition. Please, nothing broken, torn, badly stained, or needing repair!
