UTM CommUnity Center

You all are so awesome!!! Donations have started arriving! Thank you!!!!

🧡💙

As we prepare for the new semester, we're asking for your help in supporting the Verna B. Coleman CommUnity Center's Period Product Initiative.
Through this program, we provide free period products in most on-campus restrooms and at all six UTM Regional Centers, helping ensure these essential items are available to anyone who needs them.
We welcome donations of new, unopened items, as well as previously opened packages or boxes with unused products. Every contribution makes a difference and helps us continue providing this important resource for our campus community.
Last year alone, the CommUnity Center distributed more than 11,000 menstrual products to UTM students.
Please see the flyer below for instructions on how to donate in person or online. If you have trouble using the QR code, please make sure you're signed in to your Amazon account before scanning it. If you prefer, I'd be happy to email you the direct link.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support!

Join us on June 20 for a Pride prom!! Whether you didn't get one or just want a redo, this is for you!! Come out for an unforgettable night!!

So get your best formal wear and we will see you there!! 🕺✨️

The MailOUT Initiative is a Trans Services program created to support trans and non-binary individuals living in rural and surrounding areas of Memphis, TN who may face barriers accessing affirming supplies.

Participants can discreetly receive gender-affirming items such as:⁠
✅️ Affirming undergarments
✅️ Binder
✅️ Menstrual care products
✅️ Harm reduction kit
✅️ Gender-affirming literature / resources
✅️ Ministry or spiritual support items
✅️ And more!⁠

Because affirming care should never be out of reach.

Even though the CommUnity Center is closed for summer, if you’re a student still on campus we have free period supplies just outside the door! Thank you to our donors!

Finals week! Come on into the CommUnity Center for a free self-care kit!

We had a wonderful turnout for the CommUnity Center Banquet, “A Place at the Table.” We celebrated graduating seniors, volunteers, and advocates! The CommUnity Center, SPECTRUM, and the Women’s Student Alliance hosted over 20 special events this year and we had such a good time. Congratulations to Catherine Jones as the recipient of the annual Elliott McKeel Advocacy Award. Thank you to everyone who attended!

Thank you to Heather and Sophia! This week is appreciation week and the CommUnity Center couldn’t function day to day without our student employees! 🧡💙🧡💙
