Eco Vista is organizing a community trash cleanup to take place from June 11th to June 30th. For more info and tips on how to clean up safely, check out our Insta @ecovistacommunity. If you are available to table and hand out bags and gloves, please sign up for a shift in this Google doc.

Don’t miss this opportunity to reduce, reuse and recycle, and generate a spirit of giving to the community!

Since 1990, GIVE has accepted donations of unwanted and reusable clothing, books, furniture, household furnishings, kitchenware, canned and packaged foods, and miscellaneous items during Isla Vista and UCSB’s annual move-out time in June. The donations are sold at a giant sale and the proceeds benefit organizations and projects that improve the quality of life in Isla Vista.

Each year over 150 volunteers (UCSB students and local community) receive, organize, and sort all donations in preparation for a huge GIVE sale. One hundred percent of the proceeds are distributed to Isla Vista non-profits and projects that benefit the Isla Vista community
