Give the gift of life

The American Red Cross will host a blood drive from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday in the Atrium.

In addition to giving blood, volunteers are needed to help with other tasks for the drive, including setting up and tearing down. Workers also are needed in one-hour shifts to greet and escort donors and to work in the food cateen.

Blood donation appointments are available every 15 minutes beginning at 9 a.m.

The goal for the drive is 60 units, said Mary Mathiasen, instructor of wellness.

To make an appointment or to help, call Mathiasen at Ext. 8157 or e-mail her at mathiasem@waldorf.edu.
