Rotary Blood Drive

Don’t forget to sign up for our upcoming blood drive on September 12th.
The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.
If you have never donated blood before, the actual collection process usually takes 5 to 10 minutes. Please join our lifesaving mission and schedule an appointment today!
Thank you for supporting the American Red Cross blood program!
