The Equity and Diversity Center is restocking its food shelves and clothing closet to prepare for the fall semester. Individuals who want to donate nonperishable items may drop them off at the Alba Bales House.

Items needed for the clothing closet include winter coats and accessories, such as gloves, hats and scarves. Other clothing items also are welcome. “Some of our students aren’t always prepared for the drastic change, come winter,” said Regina Ranney, diversity program coordinator. “Having an on-campus resource for this is great because transportation, along with money, can be an issue for students.”
