Hosmer plans Blood Drive August 6

Hosmer and Vitalant will be sponsoring a Blood Drive on Tuesday, August 6 from 9 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. in the Hosmer Fire Hall.

To make an appointment go to vitalant.org or contact Judy, 605-283-2430 or Carol, 605-283-2354.

Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. This could be a little girl in the ICU or a mother with Stage 3 leukemia. The entire process is very safe and very fast, and you will feel amazing knowing you potentially saved up to three people.
