Blood donations are essential to the health and well-being of the community and, on September 6, b1BANK hosted a LifeShare blood drive on Homer Road to give citizens an opportunity to help others.
Blood transfusions are a common medical need, with one in three people requiring one during their lifetime due to accidents, surgeries, or health issues such as cancer. Blood donations play a vital role in saving lives, as there is no substitute for human blood. Drives like the one held by b1BANK help ensure that those in need have access to this life-saving resource.
For those who missed the event, two more blood drives are scheduled in Minden. Minden Medical Center will hold a drive from 7 AM to 4 PM on September 10, and the Webster Parish Sheriff’s Office will host theirs from noon to 4 PM on September 18.
