Why provide free bedding for students?
Every person and every interaction matters.
Every year, there are Husker students in need of emergency personal bedding items due to sexual assault, housing insecurity, and/or the inability to physically go to a store. Providing free bedding allows students to focus on their personal and academic well-being, instead of worrying about filling this basic need.
Can I drop off my donated items prior to the designated days in July?
No, unfortunately.
Storage space for the bedding inventory is not available until July 21. If you have an item to donate but are unavailable to bring it July 21-25, send a message to unlgsc@unl.edu to arrange a day and time for drop-off to happen after July 21.
The Bedding Drive is organized by Gender and Sexuality Center and Center for Advocacy, Response, and Education.
