Winter Clothing Drive

The Dental Class of 2023 has organized a Winter Clothing Drive, and all are welcome to donate. Please bring any gently used winter clothing (such as coats, sweaters, socks, scarfs, gloves, etc) that you no longer use, or just wish to donate, to the donation boxes which will be set up in the first and second floor of the classroom building across from the restrooms. Last day for donations will be Thursday, December 12th and all donations will go towards the Matrix Human Services organization. We have specifically selected Matrix Human Service because it is a non-profit organization that quarterly distributes to men, women and children in Detroit.
