What is The UCSB GIVE Benefit Sale?

A sale that reduces move-out waste and gives back to the community! Community members can donate unwanted items at convenient drop-off sites in Isla Vista. These items are then sold back to the community at low prices. Volunteers help run the sale, and 100% of the proceeds support local nonprofits.

What to Donate

Isla Vista Residents may donate any item in good condition, as well as unopened non-perishables. This is a great opportunity to sustainably get rid of unwanted items that may be difficult to sell or donate, such as large bulky items or miscellaneous household items (Mattresses not accepted).
