BLOOD DRIVE TODAY!!
We're sharing the news because Our Blood Institute's blood supply is dangerously low. The City of Vernon Blood Drive is underway and will continue until 2:30 p.m. The bloodmobile is parked at the corner of Wilbarger and Cumberland. Our Blood Institute supplies all of the hospitals in the surrounding area, including Wilbarger General. A unit of donated blood can save 3 lives. Stop by tomorrow and give a gift that costs nothing, but can save a life!
