The Voice of the Community Since 1909, Serving Moorcroft and Pine Haven, Wyoming

Be the hero, give blood

Vitalant Blood Services will be in Moorcroft on Thursday, September 26 from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. at Blakeman Propane. People are invited to join them in their mission to save lives by donating blood.

Blakeman Propane will be sponsoring a luncheon and Moorcroft Presbyterian Deacons will again be providing cookies and refreshments.

All blood types are needed and Vitalant is always in need of new donors so please consider donating blood even if you haven’t done so before.

Donors must be a minimum of 16 years of age (a signed parental permission is required for all 16-17 year old donors). If you have any questions regarding your eligibility, you may call (605)646-2625.

Call or text Brianne East at (402)209-0371 to schedule an appointment or sign up online at http://www.bloodhero.com and enter sponsor code: moorcroft. Consider completing the Fast Track health information questionnaire online to save time at the blood drive.

Walk-ins are always welcome as well. Bring a photo ID and donor card (if you have one) the day of the drive.
