Your generosity can make the holidays brighter for many who are struggling during these unprecedented times.
We are partnering with Comcast, Christmas Wish CT, Lite 100.5 WRCH, Foodshare, Connecticut Food Bank, Connecticut Children’s Foundation, American Red Cross of Connecticut and Hartford Yard Goats for the Season of Giving!
Join us to help to grant Christmas wishes for Connecticut kids and families, supply food to the hungry or give the gift of life by donating blood! Here is how:
DONATE BLOOD
Support American Red Cross of Connecticut:
The need for blood donations is always constant, but amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the need is critical. NBC and Telemundo Connecticut will be partnering with the American Red Cross and Hartford Yard Goats for a two-day New Year's blood drive on Wednesday, January 6 and Thursday, January 7. The blood drive will take place each day at Dunkin Donuts Park in Hartford and the West Hartford Town Hall.
