Humane Society Calumet Area (HSCA) has teamed up with American Red Cross to host a blood drive on August 2 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the shelter, 421 45th St, Munster, Ind.
In less than an hour, you can be a lifesaver to up to three people, just by donating blood. Everyone who signs up to donate blood will receive a discount on an adoption or a coupon to PAWS Resale Shoppe.
This blood drive was planned in conjunction with HSCA’s participation in the ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge and in line with their “Rescue Me” theme for the challenge.
Those interested in donating blood and saving lives can contact HSCA at 219.513.8911 or info@hscalumet or visit www.redcross.org to make an appointment.
