Students in the Lakeshore Technical College Dairy Club recently collected toiletries, laundry items, and socks for donation to various non-profit groups. The club donated socks to the homeless via the National Postsecondary Agricultural Student (PAS) Organization and also donated socks to the LTC Career Closet. Ebenezer’s Laundry Love in Sheboygan received toiletries, laundry items, and socks from the club.

The donations were secured by the club as part of a “Battle of the States” that took place at the national PAS conference in Louisville, KY in March. Students representing LTC won the competition to see which college could secure the most donations.

“We are proud of the Dairy Club’s commitment to this service project and thrilled they were successful at the national PAS conference,” said Craig Lallensack, instructor in LTC’s agriculture programs. “Not only does the Dairy Club give students experience with fundraising activities and national competitions, it also provides leadership opportunities for our student members.”

Students enrolled in the Dairy Herd Management program are eligible for membership in the Dairy Club.
