ABOUT THE DRIVE

Join KSBY and Vitalant for the Be a Hero blood drive on Wednesday, August 28! Two opportunities to donate: in San Luis Obispo at the KSBY TV Station in the bloodmobile or in Santa Maria at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, both locations from 12:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Your donation will help ensure blood is available for vulnerable patients through the Labor Day holiday weekend, a time when donations dip due to family gatherings and travel. It's the blood on the shelves that saves lives.

I believe the idea that my blood could help save a life is so amazing. Even though I am not a trained medical professional, I can still make a positive impact on others.
