Many faculty and staff members have asked us how they can support PennMOVES.
 
Become a PennMOVES Volunteer! – Want to help? Join us! In addition to donating your used but usable items, volunteer opportunities are available for faculty, staff and students of the University of Pennsylvania. Dates when we are in most need of your help are May 8 through May 14 and May 18 through May 20. Times and locations vary, but you'll be helping us in staffing collection sites, loading vans to transport donations, sorting donations at the Penn Ice Rink, and preparing and organizing for our HUGE SALE! Sign up HERE.

Encourage Others to Volunteer! – Please use your email lists or other communication avenues to spread the word and encourage your students, friends, colleagues, members and others to volunteer.

Information about volunteer dates and times as well as volunteer registration will be provided shortly. We will be adding volunteer shifts to this site daily, so if you can't sign up right away, check back in. If you have any questions or need additional information please contact us at pennmoves@upenn.edu.

Thank you for your interest in and support of PennMOVES!

Universal Waste

Cell phones, compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) and all types of batteries can cause harm to the environment if not properly disposed of. To keep these materials out of landfills, we have added a collection box to the lobby of all College Houses and Sansom Place.
