Yes, before any items are transferred from our bins at the front desk to our lost and found storage room, clothes are washed, water bottles get rinsed and sanitized, and shoes get sanitized. After items are transferred, they are inputted into our system to keep track of what gets put in and out of the lost and found
One of our former staff members, Val Rodriguez came up with the idea for "Alli Gator’s Closet" when she was conducting a research project for a class. Her research focused on housing insecurity for SFSU community members, which determined there was a deficit in resources. From that, she created Alli Gator’s Closet to support campus community members.
