From November 15 through December 10, Kent State University will be collecting clean, gently used or new items for all ages, including warm clothing, 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 and Schwartz Center (room 261); and the Phyllis Zumkehr Portage County Clothing Center, which provides free items to homeless individuals, families, elderly, and veterans in need. Stop by the Winter Warm-Up Stations and take what you need.
