Delta Technical College Now Collecting Supplies to Deliver Aid for Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts—Help us Fill the Trucks!

Delta Technical College (DTC) is asking for assistance from all our campus communities to help collect supplies that will be delivered to an area in need by DTC semi-trucks to support Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

DTC students, faculty, and staff, as well as members of each of our campus communities, can donate supplies to help fill two DTC semi-trucks that will be driven directly to an area in urgent need of supplies and donations.

DTC will accept donations from Wednesday, October 9th through Thursday, October 17th at each of our campus locations: Horn Lake, MS and Ridgeland, MS.

There will be donation boxes in the lobby and a member of DTC’s team will be available at the front desk to assist. Please see below for a list of business hours at each DTC campus location.

The semi-trucks will be driven by leaders of DTC’s CDL Department, who will collect donated supplies from each campus to fill the trucks. Once all donated items have been collected, the trucks will depart and drive directly to the donation site.

We are collecting the following items:

New and unopened items only. Thank You!
