Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. It could be a young child in the ICU or a mother with Stage 3 leukemia. If you’re worried about needles, don’t be —most blood donors compare the experience to a mild, split-second pinch. The entire process is very safe and very fast, and you will feel amazing knowing you potentially saved up to three people’s lives.
Our friends from Vitalant – California will be in Fort Bragg on April 19 from 1:00 to 5:30 pm and April 20 from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm for a blood drive. You can make an appointment here, or phone 1-877-258-4825. Remember, it benefits us all, because the blood is used wherever its needed, to help complete strangers or friends and relatives. You might be a recipient one day!
