Hurrican Katrina Relief: Pull the Good Stuff Out of Your Closet

Here's a good and simple opportunity to help out victims of Hurricane Katrina:

The Blackhawk Technical College Student Government Association (SGA) will be hosting an All-Campus Clothing and Goods Drive in cooperation with Mansur Trucking Inc. of Janesville, Wisconsin to support victims of the Hurricane Katrina disaster in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

The drive will take place Tuesday, September 27 and Wednesday, September 28. Two windows of time will be available on both days for students or staff to drop off items during: one from 7:30 AM – 9:30 AM and another from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM. Having two drop-off time slots each day allows students with classes both in the morning and afternoon to drop off items. This flexibility also allows staff members to drop off goods before or after work shifts.

Items may be dropped off at a designated auto bay near the back of the central campus building (Room 1122). Signs will be posted throughout the campus directing both car and foot traffic to the drop point. After the drive is completed, Mansur Trucking Inc. will assist in the disbursement of items collected in the drive to the communities affected by this disaster.

If you have any further questions about this drive please contact me. Please pass this information unto students. Thank you!
