An Arkansas Tech University student is coordinating a hygiene drive to collect items for Russellville School District students in need and the Green and Gold Cupboard at ATU.
Senior Sydney Stone of Clarksville is leading the fourth annual drive, which has collected more than $80,000 worth of items during its first three years.
Student organizations and campus departments are encouraged to form teams and compete for bragging rights as the most generous. Team registration may be accomplished by sending e-mail to sstone9@atu.edu.
Individual participation is accepted and service hours are available for ATU students.
