Sleeves Up!

October 22, 2023

The Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library is working in conjunction with the American Red Cross to encourage blood donations in our next Seasons of Sharing, SleevesUp: Virtual Blood Drive. According to the American Red Cross, every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood.

Beginning Sunday, October 15, and continuing through Saturday, October 28, Seasons of Sharing will encourage everyone to pledge to donate blood, with a goal of 40 donations. Donations may be pledged online and then made at any time and location convenient for you during the duration of the campaign

If you are unable to pledge a donation, monetary donations can also be made to the American Red Cross.

The Seasons of Sharing initiative was launched in December 2021 to provide opportunities for our community to give back through donation drives. Previous drives have supported Hangers, the EVSC Student Clothing Resource, Evansville Animal Care and Control, and The Teacher Locker.
