Virginia Tech News says the Little Hokie Hand-Me-Down will be held Nov. 11 and 12 in the Graduate Life Center multipurpose room in Blacksburg, offering eligible students and staff a chance to get children’s items for free.
The event is sponsored by the Graduate School, Graduate and Professional Student Senate, and Virginia Tech Women’s Center, according to the announcement. Students and staff members with children ages 0–10 may shop, it says.
The announcement lists shopping hours of noon to 6 p.m. Nov. 10 for graduate students, and 4 to 6 p.m. Nov. 10 for university staff members and graduate students. It says staff members and others with children may shop Nov. 11 from 8 a.m. to noon. Everything is free.
Organizers are seeking gently used maternity and children’s clothing, books, toys, unexpired strollers and car seats, crib bedding, bath and grooming supplies, baby gear, diapers and other items, Virginia Tech News reports. Donations may be dropped off through Nov. 9 at the Women’s Center, 206 Washington St., or the Graduate Life Center front desk; organizers ask that donations be boxed or placed in plastic bags if possible.
For more information, the announcement directs readers to the Women’s Center or Jessie Meltsner at jmelts@vt.edu.
