Hello, Summer!
As summer approaches, we invite you to make a meaningful impact in our community by signing up for the Plainfield Fire Territory’s upcoming Summer Lifesaver Blood Drive!
📅 Date: June 24, 2026
🕒 Time: 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
📍 Location: 591 Moon Road – Plainfield, Indiana – 46168
We’ll be hosting a blood drive at Plainfield Fire Territory Headquarters in support of our pre-hospital blood transfusion program—helping us deliver life-saving care when every second counts. As Chief Ted Allen shared in the Indiana Business Journal (attached) earlier this year, “With many other departments across the nation starting to address the issue of trauma and prehospital blood, I thought, why not us?” That mindset has helped bring critical care directly to patients in the field—and your donation plays a vital role in making it possible.
Take a break from the summer heat (or come in to warm up, considering how our Indiana spring is going) and be part of something that truly matters.
Light refreshments will be served to perk you up after your life-saving donation.
Your single donation can help save lives right here in our community. Please see the attachments for more information!
We hope to see you there! Let’s pack the (fire)house! (OK, HQ!)
