Blood Drives

The American Red Cross urges people to donate blood now. All blood donors are needed, especially those with type O blood, as this is the universal blood type and is in high demand and needed for patients suffering traumatic injuries, anemia and cancer. Several blood drives will be happening during the next few weeks that donors can attend. Visit the Red Cross website or call 1-800-RED CROSS to arrange an appointment. Walk-ins are also welcomed!

Blood drives will be held on the following dates:

On July 7, from 1-6 p.m., at Tri County Church, Main St., Mill Hall.

On July 16, from 1-5:30 p.m., at Lamar Township Vol. Fire Company station.

On July 19, from 12:30-6 p.m., at Faith United Methodist Church, Hughes St., Bellefonte.

Donations

needed

Many local cemeteries are struggling with having enough funds to make sure that the grass gets mowed each summer. Whatever cemetery your loved ones are buried in, please consider making a donation now to help with the grass mowing expenses now that summer has arrived.

A friendly reminder

The Downtown Lock Haven’s Little Red Libraries are for reading material only. There have been well-meaning people putting in dog biscuits, knitted items and other things in the Little Red Libraries. We will remove anything other than suitable reading materials from the libraries. No stickers with QR codes and other types of signs are allowed to be put onto the Libraries and will also be removed from the Little Red Libraries. They are there for children and adults to enjoy and select reading materials.

Greyhound Meet and Greet

The Nittany Greyhounds Meet & Greet event occurs every 4th Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Petco, 40 Colonnade Way, State College. They will have greyhounds to interact with, including adoptable retired racing greyhounds, and an information table.
