As the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues spreading across America, many are seeking ways to help, one of which is donating blood.
“There’s not a whole lot you can do to make a difference, but this is simple and easy,” said Heather McGlothlen, who donated two bags of her blood at the Community Hospice drive on Monday. “I can walk away feeling I’ve done something.”
Blood Assurance drew blood from donors during drives at Community Hospice and Rock Bridge Community Church on Tuesday.
While Blood Assurance currently has a healthy supply of blood, that could change as the nation continues to grapple with the coronavirus, said Brian McDaniel, executive director of operations for Blood Assurance in Georgia. “We anticipate … we’ll be in a place where we really need donors to come out.”
