Spring Cleaning Event at Western Technical College
LA CROSSE – Western Technical College organized two special events on Friday, aimed at helping everyone get ready for spring cleaning.
The college hosted a drive-thru donation event in Parking Lot H, where students collected clothing and electronics. The Basic Needs team at Western was on hand to gather both new and gently used professional clothing. These donations will benefit students and community members who may need suitable outfits for job interviews and other professional occasions.
Additionally, students also accepted various technology items for recycling, which included old speakers, computers, and gaming systems. Student Landon Trautsch mentioned, "Recycling can be tricky with electronics; you can’t just throw them out like paper or cardboard. This event is a great way to help the environment and allows us to reuse these items, which can save money and contribute to a greener planet."
Community members and students are invited to select items from the professional clothing donations on two upcoming dates: March 19th from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM and March 20th from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This will take place at the Lunda Center located at 319 7th St. N., La Crosse.
This event not only supports those in need but also promotes sustainability and environmental responsibility within the community.
