We have a limited selection of gently used winter jackets, hats, scarves, gloves, boots, etc. These are available free to students who need them. Please stop by Stu Dev (open 8a – 5p, M-F) to grab the gear you need to stay warm.
If you have extra winter clothing you would like to donate, please drop it off at Stu Dev. We are especially in need of larger sizes and men’s clothing.
Student Development is collecting the following items for our Winter Warming Station. These items can be homemade or manufactured.
These items will be available for students to pick up throughout the remainder of the fall term or winter term.
Have extra clothes hangers? We’ll be happy to take those too!

Do you have extra meal swipes you won’t use? Do you need some extra help with meals?
If you answered “yes” to either question, please remember that Hungry Hornets, as part of the Basic Needs program at K, allows students to donate meal swipes they won’t use to a meal bank which is used to provide meal swipes to students who may need some help ensuring adequate nutrition. To donate or to request meals, please complete this online form.
The Hungry Hornets program also has a refrigerator stocked with “to go” meals – these meals are made fresh each day and utilize food otherwise destined for compost. These meals are designed to support students who can benefit from some help meeting daily nutrition needs and are available in the fridge in Hicks 110.
Stop by Stu Dev for some Halloween crafting this season. Drop in and paint your own pumpkin, or add your touch to the community welcome sign. Stu Dev is open 8:00 am – 5:00 pm, Monday – Friday. Hope to see you soon!
