Donate

If you have successfully recovered from COVID-19, the Rock River Valley Blood Center NEEDS your plasma!

Back in November the Salvation Army of Winnebago County got a big donation. An anonymous donor dropped a 10-ounce silver bar in a local kettle. The silver bar was worth an estimated $235 and provided 14 bags of groceries to families in need in Winnebago County...

The season of giving is alive and well in Rockford. This year more than ever it was important that the community really come together and support each other going into 2021. One of the big Rockford events that's needed some local love this past year is Rockford City Market...

I think a good phrase to sum up 2020 is #MakingItWork. Almost every single business has had to change the way they work, and a lot of businesses are suffering. I'm sure local businesses and restaurants come to mind. But we can't forget about all of the organizations that are giving back year round...

In case you didn't know, Chance The Rapper is literally my most favorite musical artist/chicagoan/human EVER. He's my fav for a lot of reasons, but one of the main reasons is he is ALWAYS giving back to his community, aka Chicago! Chance does amazing things for the city of Chicago year round, but for the Holiday's he always makes sure he gives some extra love to those who need it...

The holiday's are here and while you're going down your check list of shopping, eating, and finding ways to stay warm, don't forget to give back this season. There's so many great local opportunities for the Stateline to come together and make sure our community is looked after...

The season of giving is here. An easy way to give back to the community is by donating blood. Now more than ever it's important that if you're healthy and able, you donate. The U.S. is experiencing a national blood supply shortage. And that means we're experiencing a shortage locally as well...

This year more than ever, we need to look out for each other. Whether that means holding the door a little longer for somebody to get inside, or gathering up stuff around your house to donate, it's incredibly important that we come together as a community during the holidays...

I can't lie, I have a weird thing where I can't throw out my old phones. There's a couple reasons. First, I know that my garbage bin in my kitchen most likely isn't the place I'm supposed to throw out a cellphone. And secondly, I keep them as a back up phone just in case my phone breaks...

With Winter right on our front door, it's time to start thinking about how we keep our community safe and warm this holiday season. Not everybody is fortunate enough to have a roof over their heads or a bed to sleep in. That's why organizations like Miss Carly's are amazing...
