Have items you no longer need? We’d love to give them a second life!

Silent Auctions
The App State's Staff Senate hosts two Silent Auctions each year — one in the spring and one in the fall — to support important staff and community causes. Proceeds from the spring auction benefit AppKIDS, a long-standing program that helps local children in need. The fall auction supports Staff Scholarships, which provide financial assistance to App State staff members pursuing educational goals.
