Rick, a Red Cross nurse, takes blood from MHCC employee Graham Phillips. Phillips said of giving blood, “I feel it’s important. Something to do on a regular basis.”
American Red Cross comes for MHCC blood
The Advocate
Between 65 and 70 donors participated in a Mt. Hood Community College blood drive Tuesday and Wednesday in the College Center.
The blood drive occurs every term and donations support the American Red Cross. Participants will receive cards stating their blood type, which may come be helpful if in an accident.
The Red Cross set a goal of 64 donors for this drive. “We set up the time and date with the Red Cross and then they tell us how many they can take blood from in the given amount of time,” said Collin Miller, Seasonal Events Coordinator for the Student Activities Board. “Just like our last blood drive last term, we exceeded that [64 donors].”
People interested in giving blood can contact Student Activities Board Director Holly Corbitt at asgdsab@mhcc.edu.
