People from all backgrounds come together to support Iowa State’s annual fall blood drive, which took place Monday through Thursday in the Memorial Union’s Great Hall.
Everyone has a different reason for why they donate or volunteer, whether it be for a family member or to help others in the community.
Kathryn Schlake, training specialist for Ag Leader Technology, has donated blood for the American Red Cross twice.
“I think everyone should be willing to donate blood in order to help others,” Schlake said. “I think it’s something simple and selfless that we can do for others. Even if we don’t see the impact, we know that there’s different crises that happen that our blood can be used for.”
Schlake spreads the word of the blood drive to encourage others to donate their blood too.
