The Loyola University Community Action Program held a two day, on-campus thrift sale to raise money for Iggy Vols and promote sustainability.
Iggy Vols is a campus immersion group, and this semester they will be traveling to El Paso and Juarez, Mexico, where students will encounter the “lives and stories of people living along the U.S.–Mexico border,” according to Lindy Brasher, university minister for social justice.
The sale was held on Feb. 2 and 3 using clothes from the spring 2025 move out, as well as items students had donated.
According to Brasher, the sale was successful in many ways.
“It helped keep usable items from ending up in a landfill while also supporting a meaningful student experience,” Brasher said.
LUCAP is a social justice initiative that’s rooted in Catholic Social Teachings, according to their website.
“The sale encourages responsible stewardship of the Earth and invites our community to consider how everyday choices can contribute to the well being of both people and the planet,” Brasher said. “Everyone who supported the sale … reminds us that gratitude, sustainability, and solidarity are deeply connected.”
