Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Hosts Lifesaving Blood Drive This Saturday
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is hosting a crucial drive this Saturday, August 23, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event aims to tackle critical shortages during the summer months. Appointments can be made online or by phone. The drive comes at a time when supplies are low due to increased demand and decreased donations during the summer. Each donation can potentially save up to three lives. Meanwhile, Alexandria residents can enjoy various entertainment and community options this week, including library activities, farmers markets, and beer-focused events. In other news, four women have been arrested and charged with shoplifting in Maryland, with links to thefts from a Lululemon store in Old Town. Additionally, Virginia Tech plans to renovate its Washington-Alexandria Architecture Center in Old Town to improve accessibility. Donors at the drive will receive an insulated lunch bag while supplies last. The event is hosted by Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and can be a lifesaving contribution to the community.
