Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood.
Blood is essential to help patients survive surgeries,
cancer treatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. This lifesaving care starts with one person making a generous donation. The need for blood is constant. But only about 3% of age-eligible people donate blood yearly. You can help the American Red Cross make sure that supply meets demand.
On June 28, Donate blood. (Schedule your donation here.)
Valley Oasis provides services for survivors of domestic violence and homeless youth, families, and individuals. Proceeds from their Thrift Store help to fund their Trauma Services and their Outreach Team distributes Thrift Store vouchers for unsheltered individuals to obtain clothing.
On June 28, Donate gently-used shoes and clothing,
new (unopened) men’s and women’s undergarments, pet food, and animal crates.

The program supports families from pregnancy through early childhood, focusing on enhancing parental confidence and competence.
