Donating to Wings Up-Cycled
Wings Up-Cycled is a donation-based free store. That means we cannot keep the store up and running if people stop donating. We encourage you to bring extra clothes to us! Not only does this help us stay open, but it is also a good way to practice sustainability in your life!
You can bring donations to Room 201 of the University Service’s building Monday - Friday, 8:00 am-4:30 pm.
