| Waste Management Sponsors a Dedicated Blood Drive for Young Leukemia Patient Employees from Waste Management gave the gift of life at a blood drive in honor of seven year old Hannah Brumley, of Grantie City, on Friday, March 21st at their facility in Belleville . Hannah has been diagnosed with leukemia and is presently undergoing treatment. |
| A family member, Tim Kirksey, that is employed by Waste Management, along with other employees, helped coordinate the blood drive in Hannah’s honor. General Manager Kenny Skaggs and his team from Waste Management were instrumental in getting employees to the drive. Fifty two people showed up to help save the lives of children like Hannah and the thousands of people who need blood to survive in the eight local hospitals that Central Illinois Community Blood Center supplies with blood. Christina Schutze recruiter for the blood center said, “Blood is needed every day for patients with cancer, trauma, sickle cell anemia and other diseases. We are very thankful that Waste Management recognizes that need and participates in this community service.” |

GraniteCityGossip.com's Plea to Ellen to Help our APA After years of dedicated service, not only to our own community, but to many surrounding communities, our local APA not only is desperate for a face lift, but is so deserving of it. The following message was sent to talk show host Ellen Degeneres in hopes she can highlight the good works of our APA and inspire people to send in donations from around the country. Dear Ellen, We are a couple of local gals on a mission. We are from Granite City, Illinois, a small steel mill town located across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, Missouri. Over the last several years, our community’s population has gone from 46,000 to 32,000, and during this time our local APA has suffered tremendously. Our mission is to save our local Granite City Association for the Protection of Animals from closing it’s doors. Our APA is completely funded through donations, and those donations have all but stopped coming. Our shelter is a “no kill” shelter that has been in existence for over thirty years....
