The UT Health Science Center is partnering with Omega Ministries to distribute backpacks full of school supplies to K-12 students in the Memphis community – and we need your help to fill the backpacks!

UTHSC will be collecting donations of school supplies at several buildings on campus now through Friday, July 30. Monetary donations are also accepted! If you would prefer to make a monetary donation, please contact Sally Badoud at sbadoud@uthsc.edu.

Bring your donation to the Madison Plaza on Tuesday, July 27 or Wednesday, July 28 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm and receive a FREE UTHSC gaiter!
