CHERRY BLOSSOM VOLUNTEER TIME

Spring is near, which means it's almost cherry blossom time in Washington, DC. Looking for a fun way to experience the festival and do some good in the process? Volunteer!

Event organizers are always looking for people to lend a hand, particularly during the annual parade and kite festival. Learn details HERE!

Not in DC? It's festival season in many places -- most are happy to have eager volunteers. Check out their websites. Befriend Google. Have fun. Give back. 

MARCH IS RED CROSS MONTH -- GIVE BLOOD!

March is Red Cross Month, which means it's a great opportunity to donate blood. 

Need three reasons to give?

How about the three lives one pint of blood could save? This week, visit the Red Cross website to find a blood drive near you and help save a life.

EXTRA CREDIT: Organize a blood drive in your office/church/school

ALTERNATIVE: Don't like needles or can't give? Check out other ways to support the Red Cross. And if you’re on the fence, help theRed Cross locate hesitant donors by playing this goofy video game.
