Donate Your Old Scrubs and Make a Difference

  • April 1, 2025

Placements are coming to an end and we’re searching for scrub donations! Donate your gently used scrubs to The MSA Scrub Drive until April 30. It’s the perfect opportunity to clear out your space and support incoming healthcare students at the IAHS Campus.  

Why Should You Donate? 

  1.  Help the Environment: 
    By donating your scrubs, you’re keeping textiles out of landfills. Recycling your old scrubs is an effective way to reduce waste and minimize your carbon footprint. 
  2. Support Fellow Students: 
    The average cost of a pair of scrubs with the Mohawk College logo included is $72.28. Your donation could help another student get the gear they need for clinical placements or study requirements, ensuring they have what they need to succeed. 
  3. Win a Gift Card: 
    Every student who donates a pair of scrubs will be entered into a draw to win a $50 Amazon gift card. Donate and get a chance to win while giving back! 

How to Donate 

It’s easy to participate! Drop off your gently used scrubs at The MSA Service Desk at your campus with a note with your first and last name and student number that the items are for The MSA Scrub Drive at the IAHS Campus. Once you donate, you’ll be automatically entered into the draw for the gift card. 

Make a Difference Today 

Donating your scrubs is a small action that can have a big impact. You’ll be helping fellow students and reducing waste. Take a moment to look through your closet and donate your old scrubs to support a great cause!
