Here’s something pretty special happening in our community — and today is your last chance to be part of it.

Habitat for Humanity’s La Crosse Area team has been hard at work salvaging materials from the Hogan Administrative Building before it’s demolished. Instead of sending all that history to the landfill, their ReClaim program rescues the good stuff — auditorium seating, solid wood doors, original window trim, vintage hardware, and all kinds of treasures that home DIYers and Hogan alumni will absolutely love.

Everything salvaged is being sold through Habitat, with 100% of the proceeds supporting affordable housing right here in the Coulee Region. It’s a win for sustainability, a win for history, and a win for local families.

And if you want first dibs? Today is the final day their team will be onsite at Hogan for pickups and walk-throughs.

If you’re interested in purchasing something, you can contact Natalie at Habitat to coordinate your visit:
