In order to celebrate National Red Cross Month, the American Red Cross is conducting their 4th Annual “Storm the Mall Family Emergency Preparedness Event and Blood Drive” at the Olean Center Mall on Saturday, March 26th from 10am – 3pm. The “Storm the Mall” event is more than a blood drive; it is a Family Emergency Preparedness Event. Red Cross offices from the Southwestern New York Chapter, along with several other agencies from the area will be on hand to offer emergency preparedness information, provide fun activities, and much more! This event will allow families to learn how to become “Red Cross Ready” for emergencies. Becoming “Red Cross Ready” involves learning how to make a plan, get a kit, and being informed. There will be prizes and drawings held throughout the day and all presenting blood donors will receive coffee and donuts compliments of Dunkin’ Donuts.
