Media Community Blood Drive NEEDS YOUR HELP!

 

Please do not wait for an emergency to give blood.

Every day, patients suffering from cancer, sickle cell disease, and life-threatening injuries are in need of blood.

Giving blood is one of the easiest and most important ways you can help patients in your community.

 

We urgently appeal to healthy volunteers to donate blood today. Please share this with donors, friends, and family.

 

Media Community is helping our area’s blood supply by hosting a blood drive.
