Give blood,
get ice cream!
The Englewood Health Department will partner
with Community Blood Services to host a blood
drive on Thursday, Aug. 2, from 2 to 7 p.m. at the
Englewood Public Library. The blood drive is being
held because critical blood shortages are typically
seen at this time of year. All donors will receive two
$5 gift cards to Ice Cream on Grand located
at 523 Grand Ave. in Englewood. To register,
call the Englewood Health Dept. at 201-871-6501.
