- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
After every blood donation, the blood is processed and tested. Then, it needs to be transported to local hospitals, so that it is on the shelves should, you or I or our friends or family members need it. Right now, We have a real shortage of volunteers to transport the blood from our processing labs to the hospitals. Volunteers need no prior experience. You need a clean driving record, a big heard and the ability to lift our boxes. This opportunity can also be done with a spouse, significant other, or family member to serve as a navigator.
