A local fire department will be collecting blood, with the guarantee that it will benefit local people in need.
Captain Troy Lashbrook with the Kenney Fire Department explains that their annual blood drive will be taking place on April 3rd. Impact Life Regional Manager Michelle Trunnell adds that the name for the event is Heroes for Life, which honors local first responders.
The Kenney Fire Department began its partnership with Impact Life just a few years ago. Trunnell says they make sure the blood stays local by having relationships and connections with local medical centers.
Lashbrook notes that the blood drive began eight years ago and was proposed by Fritz Robinson. Since then, it has become a passion for the Kenney Fire Department, and he feels that this is one of the many ways they can continue serving the community.
The Heroes for Life blood drive takes place on April 3rd from 11:15 AM to 6:30 PM at the Kenney Firehouse. Learn more by finding the Kenney Fire Department on Facebook. Register at bloodcenter.org.
