Thank you, Patrick County, for starting off the new year with a big hit! Twenty-five equivalent blood units, including three double-red units, were collected with twenty-three units as a goal. There were six walk-in donors, those without an appointment. Thank you.
A big thanks to the dedicated volunteers who take time out of their day to assist all donors and to make your donation a positive experience. Volunteers who worked this month were Denise Clark, Bill Hines, Betty Holt, Harriette Moore, Lucy Moore, and Ann Sheppard.
The Red Cross encourages donors to make an appointment for donations by calling 1-800-REDCROSS (733-2767) or online by going to http://www.redcrossblood.org and searching 24171.
The next blood drive is scheduled on Tuesday, February 10, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.at the John D. Hooker Building.
Gene Stirewalt,
Stuart
