On behalf of the hospitals and patients served by the American Red Cross blood services, thank you to all the generous Hillsboro area donors who turned out to give blood at the Hillsboro M.B. Church on Oct. 11.

Forty-three donors came in to help meet the need in our community and throughout the country.

The next drive will be Dec. 7 at the Parkview M.B. Church. Donors can make an appointment to give blood by calling (800) 733-2767.

Gladys Funk and Shirley Kasper,

Blood drive chairwomen
