The Fairfax Lions Club blood drive for the American Red Cross was a great success: 33 “good units” were donated. Since the Lions began these blood drives several years ago, 3297 units of blood have been donated!
This drive was timely, given Hurricane Harvey. Red Cross blood serves our community and world-wide needs, but the blood supply was disrupted severely by Hurricane Harvey. Not only did blood needs increase, but normal blood donation in the 4th largest city in the US simply stopped – as facilities and people were preoccupied. So this Lions blood drive was meaningful.
Mark your calendars, the next Lions Blood Drive is scheduled for Tuesday May 1, 2018.; same location: Providence Presbyterian Church.
The Lions thank all donors (which included many Lions)!
