Student C.A.R.E. Center Collection Campaign
Help Students Thrive—One Essential at a Time
Most students at the Pennsylvania Institute of Technology (P.I.T.) are low-income, working adults. Over half are also parents or caregivers focused on building a brighter future for their families. For these students, access to essentials like diapers, baby formula, shampoo, soap and feminine care products can make the difference between staying in school or falling behind.
The Student C.A.R.E. Center provides free personal care and baby care items to students in need, ensuring no one has to choose between their education and their dignity.
We invite businesses, individuals, and places of worship to join our efforts. Donate dollars or products—either way — you’re helping students thrive.
Adopt a Need: Fund the restocking of key items in the C.A.R.E. Center, or cover the cost of one high-need item (e.g., monthly supply of diapers).
