Mugs for Rugs La Crosse County
Sippin' not Slippin'
Turn in your rugs to receive a collectible mug from local shops and help us spread awareness throughout our community.
Throw rugs are a significant cause falls reported at emergency rooms for people over 65.* Emplify Health by Gundersen, Onalaska Fire Department, and La Crosse Fire Department have teamed up with local coffee shops to help address this hazard. Turn in your rugs at any of the listed coffee shops during the month of March 2026 and receive a free coffee mug filled with the house brew.
