Clothe-a-Child
Flagstaff Lodge No. 7 hosts our annual “Clothe-a-Child” Program in November. The program was passed onto our lodge in the early 2000s by the Coconino County Shrine Club.
In partnership with the Flagstaff Unified School District, Kohl’s, and Groome Transportation, we provide winter clothing, shoes, holiday gifts, food and story-time with Santa Claus to children and families in need.
Vitalant Blood Drive
Vitalant, one of the nation’s largest nonprofit blood and biotherapy healthcare organizations providing hospitals and patients across the U.S. with a safe blood supply.
The Southwest Division, encompassing Arizona and Southern Nevada, faced a significant challenge in May with a shortfall of over 1,200 donations. This required importing units from other divisions. It is unusual to see such a substantial decrease in donors so early in the year; typically, donor numbers begin to decline in late June or early July. However, this year marked an early start, beginning on Mother’s Day weekend. Contributions are not only vital but truly lifesaving. Your support during this crucial time is deeply appreciated.
A virtual blood drives enables those of you who are interested to donate at any Vitalant blood drive or donation center in your area. We encourage you to sign up through our link (or QR code below) to help us contribute to supporting the blood donation needs in Arizona and elsewhere.
