This is National Nurses Week. As part of the local observance, members of the nursing staffs at several Winneshiek County facilities collected items to donate to Helping Services for Youth and Families.
Numerous boxes were filled with needed items such as diapers, gas cards, grocery cards, paper products, cleaning products and personal hygiene items. The nurses dropped off the donations at Helping Services Wednesday evening before moving on to the Danan Lansing building at the fairgrounds for a "Nurse-a-Palooza" event observing National Nurses Week.
