Dump and Run

From CUWiki

Dump and Run is an option provided by Cornell for students with leftover "food, toiletries, clothing, working appliances and electronics, sporting items, hangers, decorations, and books" at the end of each school year. The program was started in 2003 by Lauren Jacobs '05, who received a Robinson-Appel Humanitarian Award for her work on the project.^[1]

The group Dump and Run provides national oversight of the program.
