The Essential Space – Clothing Closet
Each winter, we will have coats and assorted winter accessories available to all UMBC members. Visit The Essential Space during our open hours. Winter clothes are subject to availability. Please email us for more information or to check availability.
Want to donate winter clothing?
We are accepting donations continuously. Please consider going through your closet and bringing anything you no longer need to The Essential Space during our open hours in The Commons.
Green Move Out/ReStore
We partner with UMBC’s Office of Sustainability to host a “ReStore” at the end of each semester. We collect items that would otherwise be thrown away and host a free thrift shop to redistribute those items.
Free Stuff – myUMBC Group
Similar to the “Buy Nothing” Groups that are Popular
THIS GROUP IS NOT TO GIVE AWAY UMBC PROPERTY OR SUPPLIES.
One person’s “stuff” is another person’s “treasure”. If students, faculty, or staff have items they own that they no longer need (that were not purchased with state, federal, or grant money), they can post those item(s) here. Anyone who needs the item(s) posted should contact the poster and arrange a time to pick up on campus during daylight hours in a location where other people are present.
Anyone in need of anything can post an “In Search of”, “ISO”. Anything that is legal, ethical, and doesn’t hurt anyone is fine to post as an ISO or as a “giveaway”.
Suggested items to give away or request are coffee makers and other small appliances, hats, coats, gloves, scarves, furniture, etc.
Everything must be clean and in good working condition, not recalled or damaged.
IMPORTANT: All items are free of charge. No goods, services or money changes hands. We have no storage space on-campus for donated items, so all transactions are done on an individual basis.
