One Can Save Three: Fall Blood Drive

The need for local blood donations remains high as COVID-19 vaccines become more available and people begin to resume more of their normal activities. We are once again partnering with our friends at Escape Artistry for another chance to give back to our community through a blood drive!

Coordinated through Vitalant (formerly Life Source), this event will be held on Wednesday, September 29th from 2-8 pm at Escape Artistry’s Time Gallery location: 1342 N. Milwaukee Ave, 2nd Floor. Supporting our community is literally our mission and we’re delighted to once again offer this opportunity.
