To the editor:

On behalf of the hospitals and patients served by the American Red Cross Blood services, thank you to all the generous donors who turned out to give blood at Parkview MB Church on Dec. 7.

Forty-nine people responded to the call for the need in our community and throughout the country.

The next drive will be at the Hillsboro High School 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Feb. 4. To make an appointment to give blood, please call 800-733-2767, or go online to redcrossblood.org.
