World Blood Donor Day is coming up tomorrow, and the mass shooting in Orlando, Florida, serves as a reminder of the importance of a stable blood supply.
LifeShare Blood Centers donated more than 800 canned goods to the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana today, along with a $500 donation made in honor of one Shreveport donor.
Blood donors giving at a LifeShare center between Thanksgiving and Christmas will not only help patients, but their donation will also help the hungry.
Southern University At Shreveport is teaming up with LifeShare Blood Centers to host a donor drive to help out a young woman suffering from sickle-cell anemia in the local area.
The LifeShare Blood Centers are hoping to raise money and provide trauma kits for law enforcement with their annual "United We Give, United We Live" blood drive. The blood drive will be held September 10 and 11 at several locations in the local area.
