These items are some of the least donated and most needed by many community organizations serving people experiencing housing instability and other challenges.  Donate your items in one of the bins located on campus starting May 1 or bring your donations to the conference. You can also bring your donations on May 5 to the President's Award Ceremony. Learn more about President's Award here. A more detailed agenda and other important details about the donation drive will be shared in the upcoming weeks.
