Terp to Terp Campus ReUse Store
We support students’ essential needs and foster a culture of social responsibility and waste reduction. Our store collects and distributes small appliances, kitchen items, room accessories, clothing, and school supplies donated throughout the year.
Terps Move Out Donation Drive
Wednesday, May 14 - Wednesday, May 21, 2025
Find a collection bin in the lobby where your residence hall service desk is and donate any items you don't plan to pack up and take home. Help support fellow Terps while taking action to reduce waste on our campus.
Items to DonateTerp To Terp: How It Works
All items are FREE for UMD students! But please only take what you need. If you’re a student at UMD in need of essential living items, set up an appointment to shop for unused or gently used items. Bring your own bags, boxes, and transportation, as we are unable to deliver items.
Schedule an Appointment
To make an appointment and see what we have in store, please email terptoterp@umd.edu.
Store Location
We are on the ground floor of Harford Hall. Enter through the service entrance facing the Memorial Chapel.
Donate
Make a donation online to the Terp to Terp ReUse Store fund. Any amount donated makes a difference!
Volunteer Opportunities
Get involved with the Terp to Terp! We are looking for student, faculty and staff volunteers to help us move and sort through items during the Terps Move-Out Donation Drive.
We also have year-round volunteer opportunities for any member of the UMD community to assist with daily operations, customer service, and promoting sustainability programs around campus. We’d love to have you on board!

Students can drop off donated items directly in their residence hall collection bins near the service desk.
Any UMD or community member can drop off donations Monday–Friday at the Campus Pantry Welcome Desk between 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
