The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a pint of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.
As well, if you are planning on attending and would like to bring a snack to share at the refreshments table, you are welcome to do so.
Please contact Kelly Patterson at community_service@jacketbackers.org to volunteer at the drive and to let her know if you'll be bringing a snack. Thank you in advance for your support!
