How it works for students:

• Student groups partner with a charitable organization

• A list of personal and household items are generated for donations
• Student groups accept donations at the drive-thru event and distribute the donations to the charity.

How it works for donors:

• Start cleaning and sort items listed into separate bundles
• Drop off your donations at Minnetonka High School's front parking lot on Saturday, April 21 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. It's that easy! Receipts for your donation are provided at the drive-thru event.
