By joining The Grove, your recurring gift provides the reliable "sunlight and water" our programs need to flourish. Whether it's $10 or $100 a month, your consistency allows us to plan for the future.

Why monthly giving?

At Wildwood, we’re all about supporting our community. That's why we're kicking off a two-day employee blood drive today.

Currently, our community is facing a significant blood shortage. To help meet the demand, our goal is to collect 40 units of blood - a target that can save up to 120 lives. Every single pint gets us closer to ensuring that local patients have the blood they need, when they need it.

When: Today (Day 1 of 2!)

The Goal: 40 Units 🩸

Thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves to save a life!
