JOHN DAY – According to Susan Sintay with the American Red Cross John Day Community, the Red Cross Blood Drive held earlier this week at the LDS Church was a success. Volunteers collected 53 units over the two-day drive.

Sintay stated, “The community really stepped up. The goal was 51, so the two days exceeded the goal. Thanks for the amazing support.”

She mentioned that August is usually a “high-need month,” and often it’s hard to fill the quota. There are blood drives all over Eastern Oregon. To scewdule a donation, log on to redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS.
