In our busy lives, an hour can feel like a precious commodity. Yet, that single hour is all it takes to perform one of the most profound acts of community care: donating blood. It’s a quiet, powerful way to directly help a neighbor in crisis, a patient undergoing surgery, or a family relying on the generosity of strangers during an unthinkable time.

This simple act is at the heart of an upcoming opportunity right here in Orangevale. The American Red Cross will be hosting a blood drive at The Boardwalk on Monday, November 24th. For those who choose to participate, the process is straightforward, and appointments are encouraged to ensure a smooth experience.

It’s a chance to turn a small amount of your time into a lifeline for someone else. It’s a reminder that the strength of our community often flows through the simplest, most generous acts. Learn more →
