Grand opening for student-run Free Store

Student Megan Holz and the Sustainability Club, with assistance from UW-Superior Facilities Management, operate the permanent Free Store.

The University of Wisconsin-Superior will hold a grand opening for its permanent Free Store on Tuesday, Nov. 26, from noon to 5 p.m. in Old Main Room 131.

UW-Superior student Megan Holz and the Sustainability Club, with assistance from UW-Superior Facilities Management, operate the store.

“I feel that it is important for UWS to have a free store because it shows that we are moving toward a more sustainable future,” said Holz, a junior from Burnsville, Minn., majoring in environmental science and a member of the Yellowjacket volleyball team.

Available to both the UW-Superior and Twin Ports community, the Free Store currently has large quantities of apparel, kitchenware and school supplies available. Many of the items were collected last year. Donations will be accepted during operational hours.

Open hours will be 2 to 5 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, noon to 5 p.m. on Tuesday and 3 to 5 p.m. on Thursday.
