Question

                                          A

                                       ★★★★☆

        The goat (畜棚) at a Putnam County market in Greencastle,Indiana,will soon be full of,well,goats. But right now it’s full of tables (堆積) with clothes,books and housewares.

At the tables are families,lots of them. Some waited in line for more than an hour to have the right to get the larger things,like furniture. Carrie Ardito was first in that line and ran to the back to get a clothes dryer.

     Yeah,I wasn’t expecting one. But I saw it,and it was wonderful!w Ardito says. “It s something I can't afford on my own."

With so many eager new owners,it's hard to believe that most of these things were voluntarily left behind by students at DePauw University, about a mile up the road. For the last six years,the school of about 2 ,200 has developed a yearly program,encouraging students as they move out of the dorms each year to give things away — not throw them away.

     Ed Sparks is helping his wife search on the tables.

     She was mainly after a bed — a couch-bed, whatever you want to call it — for the little one,” Sparks says.

The little one is their daughter,Madlynn,who was smiling and playing with a large,yellow foam hand from some past DePauw sporting event.

It means a lot,Sparks says. ^Nqw she has something a little bit better than what she's got right now."

     Allen Denhart,who was moving his daughter Emily out after her first year,sardTTe movea his kids out of dorm rooms before but was doing it differently this year because of the continual reminders to give away.

      Yeah,normally I would have just taken it to the garbage can if I didn’ t know,” he says. “Like that big piece of carpet there,it will probably save somebody $50 or $100 if they need a piece of carpet for next year."

only about a dozen families benefited. This year it's more than 100.
