Monetary donations help current Student Research Gear Closet board members purchase items to fill in gaps left by physical donations. The SRGC is currently working with the Requipper, an online gear consignment store, to ensure that your monetary donations go as far as possible.
Donate funds to help support the development of our gear closet here!
Physical donations are the backbone of the Student Research Gear Closet! We will accept any items that may be useful in an outdoor setting. For ideas, check out our inventory page! To ensure that students using the gear closet have a great experience in the field, donated items should be in fairly good condition (though we can do some light mending as needed).
Please email Ally at arich065@ucr.edu to organize a time and place to drop off your gear! If you are not local to the Riverside area, we can help arrange to have your items shipped.
