Through a collaboration between the Laredo College Office of Student Life, the LC Associated Student Organization, the LC Classified Staff Council and LC Faculty Senate, the Trading Station was established to transform Palomino students’ lives through services that enhance their quality of life.
Students across both campuses have received assistance through the Trading Station, which provides food, clothing, school supplies and hygienic products. Many employees and community agencies join this fantastic cause to help students through difficult times.
This month, LC Trustee Dr. Henry Carranza and the LOVED Organization donated approximately 38 bags of non-perishable food items and frozen food to both campuses for LC students. The LC Trading Station appreciates the support of this and many other organizations toward our student population and is constantly accepting monetary and itemized donations.
“Organizations such as the LOVED organization has made a tremendous impact in the lives of students,” LC Office of Student Life Director and Trading Station Coordinator Carmelino Castillo stated. “LOVED has been a pivotal donor to the Trading Station from its inception in 2017, and the organization has donated items to Laredo College students that have allowed them to be successful in their academic career.”
