Name of the campaign:
A brief description of the campaign:
This drive took place on campus in 2022 in collaboration with other Cincinnati organizations and wonderful volunteers. The UC community (students, staff and faculty) were encouraged to donate household items like kitchen supplies, lamps, etc. do donation bins rather than throwing them away. These items were then distributed to students in need at the beginning of the fall semester. See spreadsheet uploaded below for metrics of impact.
