Donate Blood, save a life; tis the season to give

Give the Gift of Life

This holiday season, the Township is hosting two Blood Drives: December 17 and 19. Giving blood is one of the simplest yet most meaningful gifts you can give. Your donation could make a huge difference for someone in an emergency, surgery, or battling an illness. A single donation can save up to three lives, making it a simple yet profound way to spread hope and kindness during this season of giving. Your act of generosity can be the lifeline someone desperately needs.

Be a good neighbor, avoid parking on the street. Graphic of a car and firetruck in front of a house

Being a good neighbor means thinking about the needs of the entire community, and one simple way to do that is by avoiding parking on the street whenever possible.

Keeping streets clear ensures that emergency vehicles, such as fire trucks and ambulances, can quickly and safely reach those in need. It also allows garbage trucks, delivery vans, and other service vehicles to navigate the neighborhood without delays.

This is especially important during holiday gatherings and parties. Encourage your guests to park in your driveway, designated parking areas, or on only one side of the street. By doing so, you help create a safer, more accessible environment for everyone.
