Just missing the ring leader. What an amazing team! Kudos to for a very successful Pack to Give Back day!!!! Blake let us know that our volunteers packed over 1300 articles of clothing today. That is sorting, sizing, measuring, tagging, and organizing. It's a great day to be a Tennessee Vol.

Let me introduce you to one of our Student Managers; Medina!
Our center wouldn't run without our student managers and volunteers!

Hello UT students, staff, faculty, alumni, and fans!!! Do you have clothing that you love but can't wear anymore? Please consider donating to our students for pack to give back.

Dez Newcomb is the Outreach Coordinator for the Center for Basic Needs. Dez is the nurturing cheerleader of our team. You can ask her about upcoming events, communication, and one on one consultations with students who are facing basic needs insecurities.

Brianna is our newest team member. She decided that becoming a VOL was worth moving all the way from Washington State. Brianna is the calm and organization behind our chaos. You can ask her about operations, student employment, and donations.

the Center For Basic Needs fearless leader,
Blake has a head for ideas and has a passion for making changes that can be seen through qualitative and quantitative research. You can ask Blake about the numbers, demographics, how everything comes together, and how you can contribute to our mission.
