KFL will host a community blood drive with the American Red Cross on Wednesday, May 31 from 10 am to 4 pm in the 2nd floor meeting room.

For more information or to make an appointment to donate, call 1-800-733-2767 or sign up online at redcrossblood.org.

KFL is committed to strengthening our community and helping meet hospital and patient needs through blood donations. This blood drive is our way of giving staff, colleagues and neighbors an opportunity to help save lives.

Blood is a perishable product that can only come from volunteer blood donors. With someone in the U.S. needing blood every two seconds, blood products must be constantly replenished, according to the Red Cross. 

There’s no better feeling than knowing that your blood donation may give someone a second chance at life!

According to the Red Cross, donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative.
