\u201cAs a student I love attending the Rocket Thrift Shop, it is an amazing opportunity to revamp my closet and gather some much-needed items that sometimes I can’t afford like a new winter coat or even a crockpot,\u201d said Leonardo Menchaca, a senior in the John B. and Lillian E. Neff College of Business and Innovation.\u00a0\u201cThe thrift haul is always top notch too because it is built by the UToledo community, so there is always a high variety of styles and sizes. On top of that it really helps me to empty out my closet through donating, which of course makes space for my new finds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donations will be accepted through Wednesday, April 9. If you have any questions, need further information, or want to schedule pick up for a large donation, please email Jewel Mundoe at\u00a0jewel.mundoe@utoledo.edu<\/a>\u00a0or call 419-530-HELP (4357) or stop by the Thompson Student Union Room 2518.<\/p>\n
