Recently the Heart of West Michigan United Way put out an all call asking for help from the community by asking for donations for basic necessities, to help people in need right here in our community. We always hear about food, coat and money drives, but these aren't the only way you can help.
October 4th through 9th is International Plasma Awareness Week, which falls at a convenient time as Michigan, and the nation, experiences a plasma shortage.
Every year about this time, they host a event to help raise funds and awareness. This year, they had to call and audible and work with what they had. So this year they are hosting the annual Ele’s Race 5K Run/Walk online.
