More cleanup opportunities

Though it’s been three and a half weeks since flooding devastated our area, we can’t forget the hundreds and hundreds of people who have barely begun to put their lives back together. We can’t start letting ourselves tire of hearing about the flooding or think that we’ve helped ... or donated ... enough.

Our neighbors are still in dire need, and will continue to need our help in the upcoming months, and beyond.

Another group of SMU students will be heading out this Saturday. Three homes in Rushford have already asked for our help.

If you are unable to help on Saturday, but are able to help at any point, please contact Katie LaPlant at Ext. 6936 or kalaplan@smumn.edu. A form has been created at www.smumn.edu/floodhelp to help her better place you where you are most needed.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated time and lent a helping hand. As a Lasallian university, we are proud to be in a position where we can offer this level of commitment and caring support.
