The American Red Cross encourages eligible blood donors to give one last gift this holiday season and discover the true meaning of giving by donating blood.

Busy holiday schedules and seasonal illnesses, like the flu, can often mean fewer donors giving blood. But for patients with cancer or other illnesses or injuries requiring blood transfusions, the need for blood is constant and doesn’t get a holiday break. The gift of a blood donation only takes about an hour and can give patients a chance to celebrate more holidays to come.

To encourage donations and show appreciation, all those who attempt to donate blood Dec. 24 through Jan. 4, 2015, will receive a long-sleeve Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last.

Eligible donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with type O negative, A negative or B negative. To learn more about donating blood and to schedule an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

The City of Fillmore with the full support of the City Council will expand offerings and programs for all of Fillmore Senior Citizens. Currently, the city oversees the following programs:

Senior Nutrition Program, Brown Bag Program — commodities for low income citizens, Food giveaways, English classes, and Tokens for the Vista Bus for seniors going to and from the senior center for lunch.

Additional social programs such as nutrition planning, arts and craft classes, senior swim programs, and field trips to name a few.

The move will allow the city to offer senior programs and services to a variety of individuals.

The city previously administered and operated the Senior Center between 1994 and 2012.

The current contract between the City and Fillmore Senior Center Incorporated, who is currently providing programs, was not renewed. According to the contract the city will take over operations in July 2015.

The Fillmore Senior Center is a multipurpose center dedicated to independence, dignity, and quality of life for our senior citizens and the community at large. The Fillmore Senior Center will look to enhance independence, dignity and quality of life through community resource management and coordination, advocacy and a full spectrum of direct quality services.

City staff over the next several months will be reaching out to the senior community for ideas on additional programs and services to provide.
