100 students volunteer in Winona over Labor Day

Student volunteers took a break from working at Habitat Restore on Sept. 4.

After experiencing their first week of college classes, nearly 100 SMU students served 10 organizations on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. New Student Volunteer Day, with 78 first-year students and their upperclass mentors participating, provided new students with the opportunity to serve the Winona community and to be inspired by the Lasallian spirit early in their college careers. Students volunteered at the following organizations: Grace Place, Habitat Restore, Lake Winona Manor, Living Light Church, Winona Volunteer Services, Winona Area Humane Society, Winona Catholic Worker, Saint Anne of Winona, Sauer Memorial Home and Salvation Army Store. Students did cleaning, painting, hauling, played BINGO and tended to animals, among other activities.
