MKC to host blood drives

Every minute of every day, someone needs blood. That blood can only come from a volunteer donor, a person like you who makes the choice to donate. There is no substitute for your donation. When you make a blood donation, you join a very select group.

According to the American Red Cross, currently only 3 out of every 100 people in America donate blood.

The MKC Community Involvement Committee has teamed up with local American Red Cross chapters and will be hosting four blood drives during the month of May. Employees and the general public are invited to participate in the blood drive at one of the following events:
