We are proud to partner with Goodwill Acadiana for our "Goodwill, Not Landfill" program during move-out. If you have any donations you no longer need, you may place them in the Goodwill boxes located in the lobbies of Bonin, Coronna, Baker, Huger, and Agnes Edwards Halls, as well as in the clubhouse at The Heritage Apartments.

🤟 Hey Cajuns! Our annual Goodwill, Not Landfill move-out donation drive is happening NOW!

When you move out, donate the gently-used items you no longer need in the lobbies of:

📦 Bonin Hall
📦 Coronna Hall
📦 Baker Hall
📦 Huger Hall
📦 Agnes Edwards
📦 Heritage Apartments

Your donations help our neighbors find jobs, get their high school diplomas for free, and much more 💙

Thank you to our partners at UL Lafayette University Housing and the UL Lafayette Alumni Association for working with us to ease the student move-out process and turn their donations into life-changing impact 🫶
