Clothes and shoes are not accepted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the items being accepted: toasters, electronics, mugs, dishes, lamps, utensils, umbrellas, reusable water bottles, book shelves, curtains, inflatable beds, school supplies, comforters, blankets and hangers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think the specific benefit is that students get to have free resources that otherwise they wouldn&#8217;t be able to afford,\u201d said <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aryonna Marshall, president of North Campus\u2019 Psychology Club and one of the students organizing the event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Items will be handed out to students on a first-come basis.
