South Bay Blood Donors Sought

Blood donors are particularly needed at the end of the summer season because many regular donors take vacations or participate in other activities.

Rob Klindt, Neighbor

 

What: A mobile blood drive, sponsored by the American Red Cross, Northern California Region will roll into numerous South Bay communities during September.

Why: Donations to local and national blood supplies are needed to insure that an adequate supply is available for people who need it. Blood often is needed by accident and trauma victims, premature babies, and patients undergoing treatment for cancer and many other life-threatening diseases.  One donation may help save the lives of up to three people.
