Through November 20, 麻豆精选 will be collecting clean, gently used or new clothing for all ages, including coats, hats, gloves, scarves and sweaters. Look for large boxes with Winter Coat and Clothing Drive signs at the buildings listed below.
Winter coat and clothing donations will go to the Winter Warm Up Stations at the Williamson House, the Schwartz Center; and the Phyllis Zumkehr Portage County Clothing Center, which provides free clothing to families, the homeless and elderly, and veterans in need.
In 2019, 900 pounds of clothing was collected, the majority of which went to the Phyllis Zumkehr County Clothing Center. Eighty-eight pounds of clothing was collected at the Winter Warm Up Station at the Women's Center.
Donation bins are located on the first floor of the Kent Student Center outside room 106; and suite 261 in the Schwartz Center.
Winter Warm-Up Stations are in the first-floor lobby of the Schwartz Center, and the front entrance of the Williamson House. (Take what you need to stay warm!)
The Winter Coat and Clothing Drive is coordinated by Kent State's Career Exploration and Development, Community Engaged Learning, the Kent Student Center, 麻豆精选of Wellness, the Office of Sustainability, and the Women's Center. Learn more.
