LHI Gives Back

On Tuesday, July 24, Habitat for Humanity La Crosse Area was happy to host LHI’s Day of Giving. The group volunteered to go with us to the railroad tracks in the Lower Northside and Depot Neighborhood to help with two projects. 

Half of the group put primer on a wall alongside the tracks, which will later be painted over with a mural. These volunteers quickly organized themselves into teams to finish their task efficiently and beautifully. They also laughed their way through the day, making their experience far from “work”! ​The other half worked in the area above the tracks to remove weeds and lay down rocks to improve the landscape. These tasks required a bit more concentration, but that didn’t stop the LHI staff from smiling. When the painters finished early, they jumped at the opportunity to help their colleagues get the job done. 

These volunteers worked very quickly and happily to finish both of these large projects in their entirety in just a couple of hours! We are so glad this group reached out to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity, and they definitely gave back to their community.
