-The Coop is an on-campus thrift store located under Jackson Hall. Established in 2011 by Green Campus, the Coop sells used clothing and shoes, furniture, appliances, books, décor, and more to the Trinity community.
+The store takes donations from students year-round, and also participates in and helps facilitate the annual Dump and Run, which occurs during move-out week each May. During the Dump and Run, sites are set up around dorms where students can “dump” any belongings they want to donate. The Coop then sorts through the donations and resells them. Donations also come from academic buildings on campus when storage rooms are cleared out, as well as [[fraternities|fraternity]]-owned houses removing unused items.

+All Coop proceeds are donated at the end of the school year to local charities, which have included the Keney Park Sustainability Project, Interval House, and Hartford Mutual Aid. Management is directed out of the Community Service Office, but the store itself is entirely run by student volunteers.
