Community Relations hosts off-campus drive

Community Relations organized a food, clothing and furniture drive with five apartment complexes that house UA students off-campus. Our goal was to save worthwhile items that otherwise would be taken to the landfill and instead to get those items to people in need by distributing them to local nonprofits. The drive is still underway, but has already filled shelves at the Campus Pantry, the Campus Closet, Goodwill and rehabilitative centers. Clothing donations were also provided to Imago Dei Middle School, a downtown Tucson school serving low-income students in 4^th through 8^th grade. The donations will be used in the school’s Graduate Assistance Program.
