Do you have new or gently used athletic clothes or shoes that you'd like to give new life to?
Have some extra new, clean reusable water bottles that you'd like to pass on to someone who could really use it?
The Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education and Hart House have partnered with The 519 Community Centre to host their annual Sports Day event for 2SLGBTQ+ newcomers and refugees at the University of Toronto.
