John,

Donating blood is one of the best things we can do to help our neighbors. We are happy to co-host a blood drive with Mayor Vorderer and state legislators next Saturday, July 24th in Oak Lawn.

If you are eligible to give blood or know someone else who is, you can sign up at https://vitalant.org/ by clicking Make An Appointment, then entering group code 026H. There are many slots still available from 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM.

Let's all remember to give back when we can. Giving blood once can save up to three lives, and as we emerge from COVID, we have to keep looking out for one another.

I'll be there donating next weekend, and I hope to see you there!
