“Donating blood is extremely rewarding as we move into the holiday season. We think about the special gift that can be donated to someone in need of a blood transfusion and how this will impact the patient’s life but also provide hope to family and friends,” said Lauri Hoffmann, Program Coordinator, Community Blood Bank. “Community Blood Bank is asking for help to keep our blood supply strong by donating blood at the Hegg Health blood drive on November 11th. It only takes 30 minutes, but your actions will provide support a life-time of blessings. Join us to provide a gift of life this holiday season.”
