The Blood Center reports that blood donations "will be used for the patients in our area hospitals who require life saving blood transfusions. It could be someone in your family, a friend, a neighbor, a coworker... a baby, a mother, a police officer, a firefighter... we never know who it will be."
Donors are reminded to eat before donating and bring ID.
