Upcoming Events
August 6th: HRC will host a blood drive on Friday, August 6th, from 2:00pm until 6:30pm. The blood drive will be held in the community room at the Hospice Home. This is a great opportunity to save a life and tour the Hospice Home! Interested donors may call the Hospice office at (336) 427-9022 to make an appointment for donation. Free goodies for participants and all donors will be registered for a chance to win a $1000 gift card to be given away by the American Red Cross. Did you know that only 38% of Americans are eligible to donate blood and of those, only 8% do? That amounts to about 3 out of every 100 people. And since a single blood donation may help up to three different people, your donation does make a difference. Please take time to donate blood! In
the United States, someone needs blood every two seconds! The
American Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region supplies blood to 103
hospitals; approximately 1600 people need to give blood or platelets each week
day to meet hospital demand.
