Big Weekend Energy. Big Community Heart.

There’s something special about the way our community shows up for one another. 🤝 When local organizations come together with a shared purpose, it creates real momentum, the kind that reminds us we’re stronger together. It’s even better when giving back feels both meaningful and a little fun. And this upcoming campaign checks all the boxes. ❤️

From March 2-14, the Central California Blood Center is partnering with local Girl Scouts for the return of the “Give a Pint, Get a Box of Cookies” campaign. 🍪 Anyone who donates blood at a CCBC donation center or mobile drive during the two-week event will receive a complimentary box of Girl Scout cookies (while supplies last). The campaign officially kicks off March 2 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Jenny Eller Donor Center in Fresno, where Girl Scouts will be on site encouraging donors and helping raise awareness about the ongoing need for blood donations across the Central Valley. 🩸 Every donation has the potential to help save up to three lives, making this a simple act with life-changing impact.
