The Blood Bank of the Redwoods is reaching out to local colleges and universities for help in the constant struggle to maintain a sufficient blood supply with a blood drive scheduled on campus from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Thursday, April 6 at the Student Recreation Center. The Blood Bank is looking especially toward staff and faculty for their help, because "we know that people involved in the education of others are the type of folks who get involved in life and in community," say organizers.
