TOLEDO — June 11, the American Red Cross launched the Missing Types campaign to raise awareness for lifesaving blood donations and urge the public to make an appointment to give blood or platelets this summer. During the Missing Types campaign, the letters A, B and O, the letters representing the main blood groups, are disappearing from brands, social media pages, signs and websites to illustrate the critical role blood donors play in helping patients. When the letters A, B and O vanish from everyday life, the gaps are striking. And when A, B, O and AB blood types go missing from hospital shelves, patient care and medical treatments are affected.

FINDLAY — Habitat for Humanity of Findlay/Hancock County announced it will begin construction this month on its 100th Critical Home Repair, a program that has served families since 2013. Volunteers are needed to join the excitement and help repair the Alexander family’s floor. Marlene Alexander, 77, has lived in the same mobile home for more than 30 years. Over time, the floors have become warped and “soft,” which presents a hazard when Marlene uses assistance to walk, and could result in her or a guest falling through the floor. The compromised floor is also negatively affecting her ability to heat and cool her home. Repairing the floor will give Marlene the sturdy foundation she needs to continue to age in place.
