White Settlement is calling on its residents to roll up their sleeves for a noble cause this week. In honor of EMS Week, the White Settlement Fire Department and NAS JRB Fort Worth are teaming up with Carter Blood Care for a blood drive set on May 23. Locals who are looking to make a difference can now book their appointment online to ensure they're part of this critical event.
The initiative is not only about giving blood but also about learning life-saving skills. The military base is adding a practical touch with hands-on CPR classes, adding another layer of community service to the week's agenda. Participants in the blood drive, in a show of gratitude, will receive a set of six reusable cups and a coupon that promises a free stack of pancakes at IHOP. "All donors will get a 6 pack of reusable cups and a coupon for free pancakes at IHOP," the White Settlement Fire Department announced on Facebook. But that's not all, those quick on their feet, specifically the first 16 donors, will also snag two free tickets to Splash Dayz, courtesy of the City of White Settlement.
As the city bands together to support this vital cause, the benefits for donors go beyond altruistic satisfaction. The excitement stirred up by the prospect of free meals and a day at a waterpark serves as a strategic move to bolster participation, reflecting the community's spirit and generous nature. For those interested in participating, appointments can be made through a link provided by the fire department's Facebook page, which directs to the blood drive schedule.
The call to action is clear, with the hope of seeing a robust turnout to support local medical services and those in need of blood donations. EMS Week is a national observation in which all facets of emergency medical services are recognized and celebrated. Local impact initiatives like this one offer a slice of that acknowledgment, providing an avenue for White Settlement’s citizens to contribute to the health and well-being of their neighbors. This event encapsulates the ethos of community service, demonstrating that the heart of White Settlement indeed pulsates with collective empathy and civic responsibility.
