Winter Donation Drive

It is that time of the year, the time when those who go without need more help.  It is COLD, and too cold for those who are homeless.  As representatives of the Department of Public Health Sciences and The Program in Applied Public Health Sciences, it is now a time when we can continue to show our ability to give to those in need.  We will be taking donations and collecting them in the main reception area of 195 Farmington Ave., Suite 2100. For a list of what you can donate visit here: https://mph.uconn.edu/donate/
