The Town of Bennett and Vitalant are hosting a blood drive on Thursday, March 30, 2023.

The blood drive will take place at the Bennett Community Center from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Every day, Vitalant needs to collect about 5,300 donations to be ready for both routine and emergency patient needs including car accidents, cancer treatments, heart transplants and surgery for infants born with heart defects. All blood types are needed, especially type O blood. Type O negative can be used for any patient, and type O positive is also widely used because it is the most prevalent blood type in the population.

How to Give
