Books

Residents may contact the bookstore at donatebooks@nyu.edu to arrange for unwanted books to be picked up. All proceeds from the sale of the books is donated to a non-profit organization. Any books that cannot be sold will be donated to either Bridge to Asia or Books for Africa.

Clothes

The NYU Office of Community Engagement runs the Clothes Line, an ongoing monthly project to provide clothing to needy individuals throughout NYC. Individuals interested in making a clothing donation can do so by calling the automated line at 995-GIVE to schedule an appointment for volunteers to collect the donations. The Clothes Line collects clothing on the first Thursday and Friday of each month.

Donations of clothing should be in good condition. Items that are work out or items with excessive stains or tears should not be included in your donation.
