Food, Clothing & Toiletries Drive

Nov. 4, 2025

College of Medicine – Tucson, Department of Psychiatry

In response to the interruption of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, the Department of Psychiatry and Banner’s Whole Health Clinic started a food, clothing and toiletries drive for WHC members.

Many of the WHC members are on AHCCCS and are in need of food and other self-care items.

  • Additionally, the WHC Community Closet is requesting donations of clothing — new or gently used, and clean — of all sizes, along with sweaters, jackets, gloves, blankets, etc., for the cooler temperatures.

Please note that all donated food items must be prepackaged and not expired.

Items can be dropped off at:

  • Whole Health Clinic, 535 N. Wilmot Road, No. 201, Attention: Roni Garcia
  • Behavioral Health Pavilion, 2800 E. Ajo Way, third floor administration suite or the downstairs lobby.
