December 20 the Van Buren Hoagland Youth Center is hosting a Blood Drive with the American Red Cross.
The more units collected at each blood drive helps the school receive scholarships. If every drive in the community collects at least 25 units, we are able to award $750 in scholarships. Anything over 25 units allows us to award up to $1,000.
Every donation not only helps the current critical blood supply shortage, but it will help our local students.
If you are able, please come donate!
