In April, Trek for Teens ran its first Spring Donation Drive at the University of Toronto. Collection stations were set up at key locations in St. Michael's College and Woodsworth College; students were asked to donate new or gently-used clothing, books, school supplies, and furniture, as well as unopened hygiene products. In total, 3,175 items were donated throughout the month. The average value of each item donated was $6.88 and the estimated value of all donated items was $21,838.50. Donations went to Horizons for Youth, Youth Without Shelter, and The Scott Mission.
Trek for Teens would like to thank everyone who donated to the drive. A special thank you to the volunteers who helped collect and sort the items:
