Arizona plans to send an equipment truck full of cleaning and hygiene supplies to Houston next week in order to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey.
In addition, UA athletic director Dave Heeke has invited the University of Houston football team to come to Tucson early next week in advance of their Sept. 9 game at Arizona Stadium. UH's season-opener against UTSA has been postponed in order to focus on relief efforts in Texas.

The truck will depart for Houston following the Sept. 9 game. Donations will be accepted Sunday and Monday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Tuesday, Sept. 5 to Sept. 8 between 6 a.m.-9 a.m. and 3 p.m.-8 p.m.
