Last Monday, Emilio Alvarez, campus ministry, and students enrolled in VUSM 300 course, Serving the Common Good, loaded up food which was to go to locales such as Place of Grace, the La Crosse Warming Center, and Centro Latino. The food was part of a 12,500-pound donation from Festival Foods and Burnstad’s Markets which was announced at a press conference just prior to the distribution activity.

The holidays will soon be upon us and this means family gatherings, Christmas parties, sweet treats, and warm drinks. What better time to maintain your physical activity or start a New Year’s Resolution.
