Community CHAllenge: For every unit of blood collected at the blood drive on July 15, Carol’s family will make contributions to Manna on Main Street and to Mitzvah Circle Foundation. If the blood drive collection surpasses last year’s total (58 units), the family will double their donations to these organizations. This means that every blood donation will save lives AND help two local organizations carry out their important work!
