Your Role:
Please kindly accept donations from students, thank them for their generosity, and wish them a safe and happy summer. If a donation does not meet the requirements listed below, express your appreciation for their intent, but politely inform them that we are unable to accept that specific item and they will need to dispose of it elsewhere.
Please Note:
Art supplies are to be placed in large boxes/bins labeled "SCAD SERVE"
- Art supplies should be of some value, i.e., Fully used sketch pads, nearly empty tubes of paint, hardened brushes, etc. are not acceptable; however sketchpads that are half full and have had the used pages removed, slightly used charcoals with ample life remaining, etc. are fine.
- Finished or partly finished pieces of work are not acceptable.
- Open blades (exacto knives, razor blades, etc.) are not acceptable. Scissors, retractable razor knives, or other sharp instruments that can be handled safely with ease are fine.
- Loose items of value that are not dangerous or messy are acceptable.
Cleaning supplies are to be place in the tan 50-gallon barrels
-
New or slightly used cleaning supplies are desired.
-
We cannot accept any containers of liquid that do not have secure, closable lids—for example, a bottle of bleach with saran wrap and rubber band for lid.
-
Opened personal hygiene items (deodorant, tooth paste, shampoo/conditioner, etc.) are not acceptable—we will take those items if they are obviously brand-new/unopened.
Non-perishable food is to be placed in the large boxes labeled with "SCAD SERVE" stickers. We cannot accept any:
- Fresh or unpreserved items (meat, produce, diary, breads/grains, baked goods).
- Opened items where food is in contact with open air – can accept an open large package that contains smaller sealed packages (think box of peanut butter crackers from big box store where some of the packs are gone but some remain and are unopened).
-
Items where the ingredients are not written in English – too much risk/liability with food allergies.
-
Homemade or self-wrapped items.
-
Partially used items (half bottle of ketchup, for example).
-
Expired items.
Please contact Assistant Director Maggie Sorel at msorel@scad.edu if there are any questions or concerns.
