WINTER BLOOD DRIVE
We doubled our impact from our August blood drive! Together, we were able to serve 135 patients in our community thanks to blood donations from our event with The Blood Connection and Pie Pushers. We enjoyed partnering with a local restaurant to have their food truck onsite at the event as a way to support another small business while giving back at the same time. Thanks to everyone for their support. Stay tuned for our next event in 2021.
