On Monday, November 15th I volunteered with the American Red Cross at a blood drive. The blood drive lasted from 10-3, and was held at the Red Cross in Janesville. For the majority of the day I was helping people from their beds after they donated and serving drinks and food. I also had to transport the bags of blood to different tables after it was donated. This experience was extremely rewarding because I learned more about how much certain blood types are needed. It was also rewarding because I got to donate myself, and it made me feel like I was contributing more.
If Kenzie's experience inspired you to get involved, check out the Southern Central Chapter of the American Red Cross at http://www.scwiredcross.org/ to find out how to help. Volunteers are always needed!
