Become a blood hero by donating to the Susanville Blood Drive October 13th and 14th!
Every three seconds, someone in the United States needs blood and more donors are needed daily for trauma, surgery and cancer patients in our community. The blood you donate today can help save up to 2 lives. Since blood can’t be manufactured, we rely completely on volunteer blood donors.
The blood drive will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 905 Richmond Road on Tuesday, October 13th from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on Wednesday, October 14th, from 8:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.
