The Columbus Blue Jackets and American Red Cross are hosting their annual blood drive Thursday, September 10th, at Nationwide Arena.

The drive runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Activity Center (located on the lowest level, floor level) of Nationwide Arena.

Anyone who donates blood through the Red Cross in Central Ohio during September will get a special ticket offer for select Blue Jackets games and be entered into weekly CBJ prize pack drawings.

To make an appointment, visit RedCrossBlood.org and use the sponsor code CBJGivesBack.

Columbus Taco Week is happening now through Saturday, June 7th and it's the perfect excuse to treat yourself to some of the best tacos in town. Participating restaurants like Agave & Rye, El Vaquero, Yogi's Bar & Grill, and Local Cantina are offering $2 taco specials, and some even have custom cocktails and exclusive items just for the week.

Even better? This isn't just about great food. Each year, Taco Week supports a local nonprofit, and this year's proceeds will help Feed the Kids Columbus, a local group fighting childhood food insecurity.

So grab your crew, hit up your favorite spots (or discover some new ones), and make the most of Taco Week. You can find the full list of restaurants and menus at columbustacoweek.com.

Taco Week is more than just a celebration of great food, it's a chance to support Columbus's vibrant restaurant scene and encourage people to discover new spots and revisit their favorites, all through the shared love of tacos while giving back to the community.
