Donations 

Help Supply Our International Students 

We’re excited to announce the launch of our Amazon wishlist this semester to help gather donations for international students in need. As we prepare for the spring semester, we are looking for winter clothing of any size, as well as bedding, cookware, and other essential items. We were able to support many students this fall with the generous gifts we received, and we hope to keep that momentum going. 

If you’re interested in donating, we ask that you select an item from our Wishlist. All orders are shipped directly to the Rinker Center, making it easy to contribute. For winter clothing, you can choose any size to donate. Your support helps make a huge difference, and all donations go directly to international students. Thank you for helping us ensure they have the resources they need to succeed!
