Blood Drive - Urgent Need
Summer is always a low point for blood donations but this year is even worse. Please give if you are eligible. Eligibility requirements can be found at redcrossblood.org. When donors come to give blood, they will receive a $20 Amazon gift card by email.
Our next blood drive is Tuesday, August 20, from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm in the Lighthouse. Only half of our 28 appointment slots are filled; only two with people connected with Westside. We can do better!
