Our 53rd straight monthly Red Cross Blood Drive at the VFW is scheduled for Wednesday, November 20th from 1-6pm. This event is a crucial effort to support our community’s healthcare needs and save lives through blood donations. Blood donations are essential to hospitals and medical facilities, helping patients in critical need of transfusions due to surgeries, accidents, and medical conditions. Your generous contribution can make a significant impact and contribute to the well-being of those in our community. A recent study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, found that people who donated blood had a significant lower risk of suffering a heart attack!
