Items requested include feminine hygiene products, personal protective equipment, such as face coverings, hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes. The drive runs now through Friday, Jan. 28.

Donation bins are located at the Student Affairs Office in room 202 of the Mastin Building, the Active Learning Center inside the CWEB 1 building, and the labor and delivery board room inside Children’s & Women’s Hospital.
