The need for blood doesn’t take a spring break! Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. All blood types are needed now to help save lives. Spring into action and give patients a fighting chance by donating blood. An American Red Cross Blood Drive will be held at Duluth First UMC from 3 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 17th, in the Dorothy L. Rainey Fellowship Hall. Please consider donating blood as the Red Cross is experiencing the worst blood shortage in over a decade.
