Avon community members showed up in a big way this July, turning compassion into action at the most recent Avon Community Blood Drive. Thanks to their generosity, 20 units of blood were collected from 16 donors - enough to help up to 60 patients at local hospitals. One first-time donor also joined the LifeServe Blood Center community, underscoring the power of neighbors helping neighbors. Why It Matters With summer in full swing, accidents and traumas related to travel and outdoor activities increase dramatically. Blood donations collected here go directly to supporting local patients injured in car crashes, farming accidents, and other emergencies. Your donation could be the difference between life and death for someone right here in our community.
