Red Cross Community Blood Drive
Give the gift of life. Give blood.
You don’t need a special reason to give blood. You just need your own reason.
- Some of us give blood because we were asked by a friend.
- Some know that a family member or a friend might need blood some day.
- Some believe it is the right thing to do.
- Some do it for the free cookies and juice.
Everyone enjoys the great feeling of helping save lives!
