Vitalant Blood Donation:
**They currently have an urgent need for donors, especially Type O**
Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. This could be a little girl in the ICU or a mother with Stage 3 leukemia. If you’re worried about needles, don’t be—most blood donors compare the experience to a mild, split-second pinch! The entire process is very safe and very fast, and you will feel amazing knowing you potentially saved up to three people.
In addition to blood donations, they have a need for volunteers to assist with blood drives, transportation and administration. Sign up in their volunteer portal:

Pride Month is here! Help make support, acceptance, and belonging visible across Palatine!
The Community Mental Health Project is proud to partner with Northwest Suburban Pride & Action Network and Glens Friends for a community-wide Palatine Pride yard sign campaign supporting local LGBTQ+ mental health programs and initiatives right here in Palatine.
With a contribution of $20 or more, supporters will receive a complimentary Palatine Pride yard sign delivered directly to their home by local volunteers.
These signs are more than decorations. They’re visible reminders that LGBTQ+ individuals and families are valued, supported, and welcome in our community.
Together, we can help build a more compassionate and inclusive Palatine for all.
Tag people who may want one!
