The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) is initiating a children’s clothing drive aimed at supporting its graduate students and their families. The initiative is a collaborative effort involving the Student Parent Success Program, the Center for International Education, and the UWM Graduate School.
The drive invites members of the UWM community to donate gently used children’s clothing. Many graduate students juggle academic responsibilities while raising families, making this initiative particularly significant. Donations can be dropped off at the Graduate School located in Mitchell Hall, Room 261, on the second floor. The collection will remain open until October 24, giving individuals ample time to contribute.
Supporting Graduate Families
The clothing drive addresses a critical need among graduate student families who may face financial constraints. By providing access to affordable clothing, the initiative aims to alleviate some of the burdens experienced by these families. The organizers believe that even small contributions can collectively make a substantial impact.
Each donation will not only assist with immediate clothing needs but also foster a sense of community among graduate students. The program emphasizes that every contribution, no matter how small, is valuable.
How to Participate
To participate, donors are encouraged to clean out their children’s closets and bring in items that are no longer needed. Items should be in good condition, ready for reuse, and suitable for children of various ages.
The UWM community is urged to support this initiative, which aims to strengthen the bonds among graduate students while providing essential resources. By working together, participants can significantly enhance the quality of life for their peers and contribute to a supportive academic environment.
For those interested in donating, please remember the deadline of October 24. Your contributions can make a meaningful difference in the lives of UWM graduate student families.
