In 2024, Lafayette students donated about 15,000 pounds of gently used clothing, books, and dorm goods at the end of the spring semester. Over 125 students, faculty, staff and community members volunteered to collect and sort donations. Then, over 6,500 of the items collected were donated to local nonprofits, brought to the West Ward Sale, and incorporated into the Campus Thrift Store.
