CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — If you're looking for a fast and easy way to support the people of Ukraine, the Coastal Bend Blood Center has you covered. They'll be hosting blood drives this week aimed towards giving Ukraine relief.
For every person who donates blood, the Center will donate $10 for blood collection equipment so the people of Ukraine can receive the lifesaving treatment they need.
The Coastal Bend Blood Center visited us on Domingo Live Sunday, Apr. 3 to share the important of doing your part amidst this war.
"This is an opportunity for us to come together as a community", said Ashley Ramirez of the Coastal Bend Blood Center, "To make a local impact. So we're asking everyone to please consider making that lifesaving appointment today."
The Coastal Bend Blood Center has several locations to make a donation today, and the campaign will continue through Friday, Apr. 8.
