It’s time for the Rebel family to unite behind our Texas Rebels and all victims of Hurricane Harvey. The Ole Miss Alumni Association Collection Point at Triplett Alumni Center, is a drop-off point for items needed by storm victims. Items needed include cleaning supplies, first aid kits, bleach, rubber gloves, hand sanitizer, towels (new), diapers and baby wipes, baby formula and dry pet food. (Charities are asking not to send bottled water or used clothing at this time). Bring items to Triplett Alumni Center before the UT Martin game on Saturday, Sept. 9, from 8:30-10 a.m.
