This just in: Colorado State University is collecting other’s clutter (unwanted but still usable stuff) for their International and American students in need. They will be collecting items at the Loan Closet, Lory North Apartment, 905 West Laurel St. (between the Durell Center and Corbett Hall from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 16, 2006. Items needed are: small kitchen appliances, lamps, dishes, silverware, bedding, towels, and pots and pans.

First I love the name, The Loan Closet, and second, wouldn’t it be nice if ALL universities had one? If you know of a college or university that has one (if not why not start one) or another unique way people can donate their clutter (unwanted still usable stuff) let me know by sending an email to janet@overhall.com
