Local residents are being asked to join in an effort to save lives.
The first of several local Vitalant blood drives is planned for tomorrow (Thursday) from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Karns City High School.
Other Vitalant drives will take place Friday, May 10th from noon to 5 p.m. at St. Faustina Parish St. Peter’s Church in Slippery Rock.
Approximately 1 in every 83 births requires a donation of blood. In recognition of upcoming Mother’s Day, Vitalant is offering all donors who give blood and opt into their Donor Rewards Program at a drive between now and May 23rd a chance to win one of 83 $83 gift cards.
