The weather is warming up — sort of — which means it’s spring cleaning season. 

Ivy Tech Indianapolis is collecting cleaning supplies for its campus food pantry, which is available to all students. The college is accepting donations through May 11. 

The pantry is collecting the following items: 

• Disinfectant wipes
• Multi-purpose cleaners
• Laundry detergent
• Sponges
• Paper towels
• Bleach
• Toilet bowl cleaner
• Toilet paper 

You can drop off supplies from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays at the IvyCares office in the college’s North Meridian Center, 50 W. Fall Creek Parkway North Drive, Room 414. If the office is closed, put your donations in the brown box outside the office door. 

You can also donate supplies via the college’s Amazon Wish List.

Mirror Indy, a nonprofit newsroom, is funded through grants and donations from individuals, foundations and organizations.
