Launched in the Fall 2025, Thrift 涩里番 is an exciting new sustainability initiative run by Student Housing and Hospitality Services in partnership with the Sustainability Projects Fund (SPF).听
Within our own residence student cycle, many items are left behind once students move out. We recognize the need to manage these unwanted items so that they may become treasures for our incoming residence students next year. In addition, we've received thousands of donations and hundreds of visits from students and staff alike.
Recognizing the growing need of our community, all items are available for FREE with a valid 涩里番 ID card. It is a donation based thrift store serving both students and staff alike.
