Launched in Spring 2023
In Spring Quarter 2023, Phoenix Sustainability Initiative opened reSOURCE, UChicago's first ever on-campus thrift store. The non-profit, student-run store, located in the basement of Stuart Hall (previously Stuart Café), collects and redistributes clothes from and to the UChicago community. All profits from selling secondhand clothing is donated to local environmental non-profits. This project is spearheaded by PSI's Campus Waste Reduction project group.
