Giving Back, Giving Books


It's that time again! Our annual blood drive! If you can believe it, this will be our 7th drive, and to date, we've collected over 300 units. The day Georgia was diagnosed, she had the first of eight blood transfusions, and we were very grateful that there was a safe supply available for her. So many people going through treatment depend on that availability as well, so we've done our best to pay forward what was so generously given to Georgia. 

If you're local and can join us, the blood bus will be pulling up to the house on Sunday, May 15th from 2-5 pm. We'll have Georgia and Ivy's World Famous Lemonade, as well as treats and treasures from the neighborhood kids to raise money for the St. Baldrick's Foundation, and as a special treat, we'll have an ice cream truck stop by from 3-4pm. And as an EXTRA special treat, we will be cutting the ribbon on our long-awaited, very special project: a Little Free Library! We are so excited to finally get this started, and our in-house library experts have been helping to pull books to stock it up for the neighborhood. So come on by to give a lifesaving donation and pick up a book while you're at it!
