The season of giving is beginning, and in Austintown, two local businesses have combined their efforts to help the Red Cross with needed blood donations.

Grizzly Bean Coffee House, located at 4520 Mahoning Avenue, is hosting the blood drive, and Midas, located at 4540 Mahoning Avenue, is giving you a reason to help.

According to Grizzly Bean Coffee Hosue, anyone who donates blood at their location Wednesday through 1 p.m. will receive a free cup of coffee and a free oil change at Midas located next door.
