Give $5, Get $5

Donate to the Veterans Resource Center’s GEM Cart fund, and we’ll support your ScotSurplus budget in return.

Starting this month, ScotSurplus will be partnering with various groups and charities to support causes that matter. We're calling it the "Give $5, Get $5" because that's what it is: Donate $5 (or more!) to our select charity each month, and we'll give you $5 off your ScotSurplus purchase.

November’s Cause: The Veterans Resource Center

The Veterans Resource Center (VRC) helps veteran and military-connected UCR students find support, camaraderie and understanding on campus. A full-time coordinator also helps students access their benefits, and peer-to-peer support, mentoring and networking opportunities are available. The center supports over 1,200 military-connected students and helps veterans transition from military to university life.

How you can help

The VRC is raising funds to purchase an EV cart so student veterans who use wheelchairs can get to class. Your gift makes a direct difference for students who have served.
