The school year has ended at Coastal Carolina University, but student activity is still prevalent on campus. Nearly 3,000 students donated clothing, furniture and electronics to CCU's Campus Salvage program before moving out for the summer. And some of those items will be going to tornado victims in Alabama.

"The fraternity and sorority community at the University of Alabama has played a huge role in relief efforts, and our Greek community wants to support other fraternity and sororities. Just like other groups across the country would help us in a disaster, we're helping them," Luke Benfield, CCU Greek Life Coordinator said.

The goal of Campus Salvage, which is in its fourth year, is to make sure items that can be reused or recycled don't go into the landfill. As students were moving out last week, pods that served as drop-off locations were set up around campus. "We asked students and parents to help put stuff in the pods. As a part of that, we got a call from the Greek Life Coodinator at Coastal and he asked if we'd like to help out with collecting clothing for the tornado victims in Alabama. We thought that would be a great idea," Jennifer Sellers with CCU's Sustainability Program said.

A great idea combined with perfect timing means help is on the way to hundreds of Alabama tornado victims. The man delivering the 30 to 40 bags of clothing: University of Alabama graduate Matt Jordan. His brother is a member of the Greek community and is headed that way. CCU Greek Life jumped at the opportunity to help in such a short amount of time. The bags were loaded onto a trailer hitched to Jordan's truck Monday afternoon and will be delivered to the University of Alabama, where fraternity and sorority members have been working around the clock to help those who were affected.

"They used all the houses to set up drop-off points and to make hot meals for families. They made 30,000 meals in just the first week. That's constituted over 25 percent of all hot meals made for those affected. As of last Thursday, they've raised over $60,000 for relief efforts," Benfield added.

Campus Salvage also plans to put other items, besides clothing, to good use in Horry County. "We're looking to donate to charities and we do have some charities who've signed up with us. Some of the clothing that doesn't end up going to Alabama that we get after this pick up will be going to local charities and a lot of the nonperishable food will be going to local charities as well," Sellers said.
