Keystone Grange Hosting Blood Drive

Keystone Grange No. 2 is holding its second annual blood drive at the Grange Hall at 192 W. Main Street in Trappe on April 21 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

According to the Grange, someone in the U.S. needs blood ever two seconds, meaning that 38,000 blood donations are needed every day.  A car accident victim could use up to 100 pints of blood, and blood transfusions are becoming more common in cancer chemotherapy.

Readers interested in donating can e-mail info@keystonegrange2.org for pre-registration.

In conjunction with the blood drive, the Grange will hold an open house, including tours and information on membership, benefits and upcoming events – and a special sneak peek of the upcoming Grange Fair.

Refreshments will be provided by Keystone Grange and the American Red Cross.
