The Attic

The Attic is a ministry joyfully provided through the generous support of volunteers for the benefit of Southern Seminary and Boyce College students and their families.

The Attic is now accepting food items between 2-5, Monday-Saturday. Donors should bring the items during these hours so that a volunteer may store them to keep for seminary families in need. Limited refrigerator and freezer space is now available on site so please consider donating luncheon meats, dairy items as well as frozen entrees. Please note that these items must not be left in the collection bins but must be given to a volunteer. Canned food is also accepted and may be left in the donation bins. Families in need who would benefit from these donations must contact The Attic at theattic@sbts.edu and arrange an appointment for picking up food items.

  • We are in need of good quality summer clothing, especially for older girls and boys.
  • We are particularly in need of gently used furniture and toys.

Quick facts about The Attic:

  • It is a collection of clothing, shoes, household goods, electronics and furniture
  • We welcome students to take up to four items per family member per day
  • Donated furniture may be reserved for a maximum of seven days while the student arranges  transportation
  • It is conveniently located on campus in Fuller Hall, Rooms 10-11.  Look for the sign posted near the entrance door on the northeast corner of the building.
  • The hours are 2-5 PM, Monday-Friday and 2-5 PM on two Saturdays per month.
