Blood drive

December 1, 2025– Toyota of Scranton will host a blood drive tomorrow in honor of Giving Tuesday, to raise money and fortify blood donations in support of two employees’ family members. The state budget has a new fund for neurodegenerative disease research, and a Lackawanna County lawmaker helped lead the charge. And, a Luzerne County nonprofit brings together the region’s older adults and disadvantaged with soup.

Hurricanes Helene and Milton caused the cancellation of hundreds of blood drives, making a national shortage possible. The local Red Cross chapter is urging people to donate blood and help secure the national blood supply.
