Blood Donation Held in Alpena Wednesday to Help With Shortage

St. Anne Catholic Church hosted a blood drive on Wednesday with over 60 donors helping to save lives. There wasn’t an empty table inside of the church as residents of Alpena came to donate blood to help supply the blood shortage throughout the U.S.

Normally one person donates up to a pint of blood, but Wednesday there were double donors, taking the challenge to give a little more. The need for blood is constant.
