GIVE Project in Isla Vista

GIVE Project in Isla Vista The donations are sold at a giant sale and the proceeds benefit organizations and projects that improve the quality of life in Isla Vista.

GIVE is an easy way for residents to donate belongings they no longer need; makes quality, used items available to the community at inexpensive prices; creates an opportunity for the community to volunteer; and donates funds to Isla Vista non-profits! Since 1990, GIVE has accepted donations of unwanted and reusable clothing, books, furniture, household furnishings, kitchenware, canned and packaged foods, and miscellaneous items during Isla Vista and UCSB’s annual move-out time in June. Each year over 100 volunteers (UCSB students and local community) receive, organize, and sort all donations in preparation for a huge GIVE sale. One hundred percent of the proceeds are distributed to Isla Vista non-profits and projects that benefit the Isla Vista community. COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Are you a member or benefit from any of these orgs? AS Food Bank, Saint George Family Youth Center, Adopt-a-Block, Isla Vista Youth Projects, etc. ? Do you want to help raise money for one or more of these specific local community projects?

VOLUNTEER FOR THE GIVE BENEFIT SALE.

It's that time of year again! Seniors are graduating, students are moving to new apartments, and there's a lot of stuff people want to get rid of. 🛏🖨📺👕👖🍽Did you know that the GIVE Project in Isla Vista is the perfect nonprofit organization to donate your items to? 🤔

But what is GIVE? GIVE is a nonprofit organization that collects, sorts, tests, cleans, and sells in a two day sale dropped off items from residents of Isla Vista and UCSB. 💚

Where does the money go to? The money from the GIVE sale goes straight back to the community! To organizations such as: Adopt-a-Block Program, Associated Students Food Bank, Isla Vista Youth Projects and SO many more! 😊

How do you guys break up the money between organizations? It all depends on hours put in by volunteers of those organizations. We keep a meticulous record of volunteers hours and for every hour of work they put into helping put together the sale, it gets turned into money going towards their organization. The more volunteers and hours put in for your organization, the more money you will earn!! 🎉

How can I help? Email our director Viviana Marsano at marsano-v@ucsb.edu !! That simple. Hope to see you join our cause 💚
