ALERT: Cold and flu season has already impacted the nation’s ability to maintain its blood supply. As the number of coronavirus cases grows in the U.S., the number of people eligible to give blood for patients in need could decrease further. Click here to find a blood drive in your zip code with the American Red Cross.

A.J. Collette of Flourish Bakery, a social enterprise that teaches the art and skills of professional baking to individuals in life recovery from addiction and/or incarceration. Collete and the rest of the Flourish team have been searching for a new home kitchen since their relationship at SLCC-South Campus ended along with 2019. Look for the Flourish food truck at farmers markets and community events along the Wasatch Front for now.
