As you may know, this past week was Giving Tuesday which is a day that inspires millions of people across the globe to give back to causes that matter to them. DACC is participating in this year's campaign by encouraging members of the public to support us by donating to the Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation. The Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation’s mission is to support the County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control through fundraising which supports spay and neuter programs, pet adoptions, public education, and animal welfare. Many of the Foundation’s fundraising efforts have enabled the department to enhance the care given to animals in the County animal care centers.
The Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation supports the rescue and care of animals in need of extra care and foster homes. These animals are often underage/unweaned kittens and puppies, and also include adult animals that require special care as they recover from an illness or injury.

While we hope the winter holiday bring you much needed joy, we also know they can be stressful. This year, we all must contend with the added concern of a global pandemic. During the busy winter holidays, the American Red Cross typically experiences a drop in blood donations. We're taking extra steps to help prevent a critical blood shortage, but we're going to need your help.
When you come in and give blood December 18 - January 4, you'll get an exclusive Red Cross long-sleeved T-shirt, while supplies last.
Wear it with pride to show your generous spirit!
COVID-19 Update
With socializing at a minimum this year, why not meet a friend at a blood drive or donation center? You can feel good seeing your friend in an environment specifically designed to protect your health during the ongoing pandemic. Earlier this year, we implemented rigorous COVID-19 safety protocols: temperature checks prior to entering the drive or donation center; social distancing between donation beds as well as waiting and refreshment areas; donors and staff in approved face covering (don't forget to bring your mask); hand sanitizer available for all; and even more rigorous cleanliness procedures than usual.
All donations are tested for COVID-19 antibodies. Results available within one to two weeks via your donor account on both RedCrossBlood.org and the Blood Donor App.
The Red Cross follows the highest standards of safety and infection control. In accordance with CDC guidelines, all donors are required to wear a face covering or mask. Valve face mask are not permitted. Face shields can be worn in addition to face mask but not as a substitute.

Spread Holiday Cheer: Drive Sober This Year |
|
The Holidays will feel a bit different this year, but one thing that has not changed is choosing a sober way to go.
This holiday season, the Los Angeles County Sherriff's Department encourages the community to make sure every holiday celebration ends with a sober driver.
Starting Nov. 30 and through Dec. 15, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
In addition, officers will be actively looking for other unsafe driving practices - speeding, not wearing a seat belt, driving distracted, not yielding to bicyclists or pedestrians - to make sure everyone has a safe holiday.
