## Resource

Summer’s hitting non-profits hard—volunteer numbers plummet as students head home and families hit the road. The Red Cross battles its second national blood shortage, forcing creative moves like free movie tickets to lure donors, while the Food Bank sees a shocking 50% drop in volunteers, from 1,600 to just 745. With surgeries delayed and meals at risk, these organizations remind us: help isn’t optional—it’s essential—even when everyone’s on vacation.
