As in the past, summer means a severe blood shortage. Vacations, family reunions, festivals, and other more interesting events take precedence over taking the time (an hour) to donate a unit of blood.
The dedication of our donors has resulted in the Wilton Community/Brookwood FFA Joint Blood Drive being awarded the designation of Premier Blood Partner by the Red Cross. To maintain this designation, we will need to average 80 units at each of our next three drives. Our average for the first three drives of 2022 has been 62. So, you see, we really need your help.
