“I want everyone who donated blood at Good Shepherd in 2009 to know we gave 317 pints. I was told that could save as many as 951 lives,” said Norma Weeks, coordinator. “Some of us gave at all six blood drives — one of those is an 89-year-old woman. I also had several 16-year-olds to start their first-time donations. If you are not a blood donor, now is the time to start being one.”
The next blood drive will be on March 9. For information call Weeks, 843-538-8950.
