La Crosse Tribune - 6.0-Area agencies welcome return of volunteering college students

La Crosse Tribune - 6.0: "The Women’s Clothes Closet is looking for some affordable elegance.

Last year, about 350 women benefited from the closet, which provides professional clothing to low-income women. But the people who run the nonprofit on the third floor of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church would prefer a more appealing look than white, bare walls.

And their wish is being granted: Students from the interior design program at Western Technical College are providing a facelift as part of a service-learning project.

Clothes Closet volunteer Deb Daehn Zellmer said regular volunteers could give the rooms a makeover but were looking for guidance on how to make it look good."
