The Deacs donate program is an essential part of the student move-out process and helps us meet our waste diversion goals. Deacs Donate is a partnership with Goodwill that allows WFU to divert waste from the landfill while giving back to the community. In the past five years the Deacs Donate program has collected over 90 tons of Goodwill donations.
