Students and alumni make a difference in their communities

The women’s hockey team helped distribute smoke detectors in Winona.

Our students and alumni were out in their communities in late October, volunteering their helping hands for an annual day of service. Almost 110 Winona students spent the afternoon assisting 47 area residents and organizations with fall tasks during the Campus Ministry-sponsored Make a Difference Day. One of those efforts included the women’s hockey team working with the American Red Cross and Winona Fire Department to replace smoke detectors in local residences. Meanwhile, alumni in Winona, Twin Cities, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Denver got together to pitch in at a variety of non-profit service organizations during for our sixth Lasallian Day of Service.
