Donate to Middle Tennessee Flooding Recovery

August 30, 2021

Faculty, Staff, and Students,

This past weekend, a massive amount of rain flooded several counties in middle Tennessee. Lives have been lost, homes have been destroyed, and it has been declared a major disaster for the state of Tennessee.

Our fellow Tennesseans need our help!

Campus Police is hosting a donation drive to collect the following needed supplies on Wednesday, September 1 through Friday, September 3, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm, at the Van Vleet Building on the Memphis campus:

• bottled water
• hand sanitizer
• cleaning supplies
• nonperishable food items
• diapers
• personal toiletries

If you are unable to bring the requested donations listed above to the Van Vleet Building on September 1 – 3, please consider making a monetary donation online to one of these disaster relief organizations:

• The Tennessee Region of the American Red Cross
• The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee
• Nashville Community Resource Center
• Salvation Army

The UTHSC campus has always been passionate when it comes to upholding the important mission of public service. I greatly appreciate any donation that you can make toward this recovery effort, and I know the people of Middle Tennessee are grateful for any assistance we can provide them.
