Blood drive anticipates spring

Spring is the season whenlife is renewed. One important way to help renew life is to give blood at the Clearbrook blood drive on April 9th at the Wes Westrum Gym in Clearbrook, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.. Each blood donation can help multiple patients.

 

By giving blood, donors help replenish the communiy blood supply whch can be used by neighbors, relatives or friends. Blood can be stored for only 42 days, so a continual fresh supply is critical and can only come from volunteer blood donors. Anyone may need blood at any time. In the event of an accident, serious illness or surgery, an adequate blood suply can be the difference between life and death.

 

Contact Nancy Goudge at 218-776-2777 to make an appointment or call United Blood Services at1-800-917-4929 for more information.

 

To save time, donors can now fill out their Health History Questionnaire online at www.unitedblood services. org the day of their donation. To donate blood, volunteers must be at least 16 years old (16 year old donors need a minor donor permit which is available onlin) and be in good health.
