We thankfully have 2 great resources in our district with the Red Cross and Houchin Community Blood Bank. Both of these websites are currently showing an urgent or critical need for donations. Today on World Blood Donor Day consider scheduling an appointment to give. Blood transfusions are needed
World Blood Donor Day. A single blood donation can impact countless lives. Thank you to every donor who shows up to save lives. Thank you to every bloodbank employee collecting life. This is one amazing example of how community selflessness and empathy pays off. You never hope to be on the receiving end, and it takes all who can in times of elevated needs.
