Due to the blood donation shortage, Red Cross has added 10 more appointment slots to our Blood Drive Tuesday, August 25th. It would be greatly appreciated if you would donate. Maybe it has been a while since you have donated or you could be a new donor! Such a small sacrifice to save 3 lives!! All you have to do is log into www.redcrossblood.org and sign up for the drive or call Lisa at 785-425-7352 and she will get you set up with an appointment. Please share this post so we can reach our goal of 41 appointments filled. By the way, that would be 123 lives saved!!!!!!

Blood donors report feeling a sense of great satisfaction after making their blood donation. Why? Because helping others in need just feels good. Donate blood today to help those in need.
