[ARCHIVED] Essex Fire's Annual Blood Drive in Memory of Addi 15A1

Addi's Blood Drive

Help Us Hit Our Goal: Addi’s Annual Blood Drive 
We need your help! We are currently facing a severe national blood shortage, and hospital requests are outstripping the supply. Every 2–3 seconds, someone needs blood. On Saturday, February 7th, the Essex Fire Department is stepping up to help.
This drive is incredibly close to our hearts. We are hosting the Annual Essex Fire Community Blood Drive in memory of Addi (15A1). Addi is a lifetime member of our community Fire Family, my daughter and everyone's child. She fought a courageous battle against a mystery disease and severe blood disorders. Because of selfless blood donors, we were given precious extra time with her. Every year, we pay that gift forward.
We have 111 total appointments available. Will you help us honor Addi’s legacy and replenish the supply for others in need?
Drive Details:
Where: Founders Memorial School (Gym)
Address: 33 Founders Rd, Essex Junction, VT
When: Saturday, February 7, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Coordinator: Essex Firefighters Association & Tammy Carroll

Share: Even if you can’t donate, please share this post! Mutual aid works best when the whole community sees the call.
The need is constant, but the supply relies entirely on volunteers like you. Let’s show up for Addi and for our neighbors.
