Did you know that there is a free store on the BGSU campus that offers dorm goods, clothes, and school supplies to students, faculty, and staff? From school supplies and home goods to gently used campus gear, this is your chance to save money, reduce waste and shop sustainably. Grab donated school supplies, books, clothes, BGSU swag, décor and more. All items are first-come, first-served. Thanks to last spring's WYMO donations and surplus office supplies, we're helping Falcons save money and keep usable goods out of the landfill.   ♻️ Reduce waste. BGSU Campus reStore helps BGSU support sustainability efforts by repurposing items instead of buying new. Whether you need school supplies or household necessities, you'll find something useful and feel good about being eco-friendly. 🎟️ What to Know Before You Go: BGSU ID required for entry (students / faculty & staff only) Bring your own reusable bag! Reasonable limit policy will be enforced Take only what you can use, in one trip to the exit Shoppers must remove all "purchased" items from the store. No layaways. NO re-entry after leaving Directions: Enter the BGSU Campus reStore through the glass hallway in McDonald Hall, across from the Life Sciences building. No parking on site   Get involved! For a fun way to earn service hours and be part of the zero-waste movement, sign up to volunteer at the Campus reStore. Can't make it? No worries!
