Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. It could be a young child in the ICU or a mother with Stage 3 leukemia. If you’re worried about needles, don’t be —most blood donors compare the experience to a mild, split-second pinch. The entire process is very safe and very fast, and you will feel amazing knowing you potentially saved up to three people’s lives.
 
Our friends from Vitalant – California will be in Fort Bragg on April 19 from 1:00 to 5:30 pm and April 20 from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm for a blood drive. You can make an appointment here, or phone 1-877-258-4825. Remember, it benefits us all, because the blood is used wherever its needed, to help complete strangers or friends and relatives. You might be a recipient one day!

We’re getting a much-needed break between storms, and this sunshiny day is the perfect time to head to the Fort Bragg & Mendocino Certified Farmers Markets at Laurel and Franklin Streets in the heart of downtown Fort Bragg. You’ll find fresh local produce and other homegrown delights to take home with you. The Market starts at 2:00 pm on Wednesdays.
 
If you’re a CalFresh recipient, you can double your EBT benefits, up to $30. That’s a lot of fabulous fruit and veggies. Read more about the Market Match here.
Wondering if you qualify for CalFresh? You can apply online here, or call us at (707) 961-3478 to make an appointment with one of our Patient Advocates, who can help you apply for CalFresh and other state and federal programs.
 
Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts, and we’ll see you at the Market!
