Give blood - 
From the Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce: For hundreds of people hospitalized in our community, blood donors represent hope. With July 4 falling on a Thursday this year, blood collections are challenged. "We’re urging people to consider making a blood donation just before or after July 4 to assure that there is a safe and adequate blood supply on hand for those who rely upon it. Visit www.ribc.org to find a blood drive or donor center near you.
