Q: Do I have to bring in an ingoing donation to SCROUNGE if I would like to donate?
A: Yes. On very rare occasions, SCROUNGE does pick up larger donations from nearby businesses, but only if the trip is close enough to SCROUNGE’s office, and the group has the proper vehicle to pick up the donation.
Q: Do I have to pick up an outgoing donation from SCROUNGE?
A: Yes, SCROUNGE does not drop off any outgoing donations to nonprofit organizations. All donations have to be picked up by the nonprofit organization if they would like the equipment SCROUNGE has to offer.
Q: How do I become a SCROUNGE member?
A: To become a SCROUNGE member the first thing you have to do is attend the monthly meetings, which are the last Thursday of every month (unless otherwise specified). The second thing you have to do, is volunteer time in SCROUNGE. This can include a multitude of different activities, such as learning how to scrap a computer, learning how to process a donation, learning how to give a donation, and many other things.
There are activities for students who are talented in other areas of SCROUNGE in which a volunteer can also participate. One of the largest areas is in advertising and recruitment. Another area is the development of the group. This can include a multitude of different areas such as the website design, the SCROUNGE environment, and other projects that any member can start with the permission of the officers and advisers.
Q: Do I need to make an appointment if I would like to give an ingoing donation?
A: Yes you do! SCROUNGE is just like a business, if someone is not there to process your donation, you would not be able to donate it. The best way to schedule a good time for a donation is to look at the Semester’s Office Hours in which a SCROUNGE member will typically be available, and then contact a SCROUNGE member by emailing or calling us.
