Shade Tree Clinic, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine’s student-led clinic for uninsured patients, is hosting its annual Holiday Drive Dec. 6.

The drive is for a variety of items: non-perishable foods, clothes for children and adults, toys, books, and household items to our patients.

Organizers have created an Amazon Wishlist, which you may buy items from to donate (shipping address is listed as Shade Tree Clinic Holiday Drive).

There will also be a donation station on Dec. 6 from 6:30 a.m.-1 p.m. outside of Eskind Biomedical Library to collect items.

Additionally, if you are a VUMC faculty or staff member who would like to donate your $20 holiday gift certificate to our patients, you can drop it off during this time.
