Donations play an important role in setting international students into their new home and lifestyle. Many students arrive with few, if any, household supplies and have limited budgets for even basic necessities.

The Loan Closet is sponsored by the International Hospitality Foundation, and is a low-cost resource for such items as small appliances, dishes, cookware, baby equipment, clothes hangers, fans, curtains, lamps, ironing boards, sheets, blankets and towels.
