“Don't Stop The Carnival” Service Projects

 

Blood Drive

 

For the last five years our blood drive has been the largest blood drive in the Keys put on by the Community Blood Center of Florida. Last year we collected an incredible 111 pints, yes that is ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN PINTS from the 120 attendees who attempted to give the “Gift of Life”. Our blood drive will be Thursday, November 3rd from 9am to 5pm and Friday, November 4th from 9am to 2pm. Once again the blood mobile will be located out in front of the Casa. Donation appointments will be taken starting after Labor Day. Stay tuned for more information. Make your appointment early and help keep “The Meeting of the Minds” Blood Drive number 1 for the SIXTH year in a row!

 

Toy Drive

 

This will be our fifth year supporting the Salvation Army of Monroe County, benefiting the children of Monroe County including Key West. Please bring an unwrapped toy(don’t forget batteries) or school supplies to donate when you register. Age groups requested are infant-toddler and teenagers. If you are driving down the Keys, stop at the Homestead Wal-Mart or the Key West or Marathon K-Mart to pick up toys or school supplies. Collection boxes will in the registration area.

 

A great big thanks to all who have and will help make our service projects a success.
