The WCA hosted its first of two Red Cross Blood Drives on June 16.
Whether you reserve a time in advance or need a walk-in appointment, the WCA’s Red Barn on Village Road in Wilmot is a perfect venue for a blood drive. Nancy Large, WCA president headed up the event. “We are delighted to work with the Red Cross on this important project,” said Nancy.
On average, donors needed to set aside about a half hour to donate blood. Experienced Red Cross staff provides private booths or comfortable recliners for donors while volunteers help with check in and the refreshment table.
Many thanks to Nancy’s hardworking volunteers, who included Adam Glass, Judy Hauck, Lindy Heim, Patty McGoldrick,Dana O’Donnell, and Nancy Schlosser . Everyone enjoyed hot pizza generously donated by Pizza Chef, Andover. Nancy, a blood donor herself continued, “The WCA is proud to help the Red Cross achieve its lifesaving goal of supplying blood products.”
The next Blood Drive at the WCA Red Barn is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on August 25.
Thanks to all the donors, volunteers, and the Red Cross for helping those in need in our community.
Patty went above and beyond her volunteer ‘duties’ and also donated blood. Thanks, Patty!
