HOSA is hosting this year's blood drive on Wednesday, October 2. We need a minimum of 50 donors.
So anyone that is willing to donate is welcome! If someone is donating for a senior, they need to be sure to mention the seniors name at donation in order for them to receive credit for the Red Cord program.
The blood donated is distributed to our local hospitals. We appreciate anyone willing to sign up to donate. Our next blood drive will be in January. Thank you for your willingness to help save lives!

Glass vases/jars are not recommended for young children as broken glass can cause injury.
