The WSU ROCC project began as a collaborative project grant-funded by the US Department of Education with the University of Idaho in December of 1995. Collection of reusable student goods is campus-wide.
Distribution is wide ranging and includes the greater Pullman and Moscow regions.
Since the project began, thousands of pounds of clothes have been collected on the WSU campus. During the summer of 2000, when the WSU campus is least populated, over 3000 pounds of clothes were collected and distributed. Community Benefits Economically disadvantaged families and individuals throughout Washington and Northern Idaho receive goods as needed. Community agencies obtain greater volume and variety of reusable goods to be distributed to community members. Provides valuable direct and indirect community service opportunities to participating students.
