CSC Community Blood Drive: BREAKS RECORDS

Seventy-five people gave blood at the annual winter blood drive held at Conception Seminary College last Tuesday, February 16th.  This smashed the goal of 50.  

But the number of donors is not the only good news from the day.

Matthew Lorang of the Diocese of Jefferson City, MO waits patiently.

Ben Rogers of the Archdiocese of Kansas City, KS gives blood on Tuesday afternoon.

Tomas Sandoval of the Diocese of Oklahoma City enjoys his afternoon blood donation.

Many wait in holding to give blood, standing room only.

Many people from the surrounding communities took part in donating and spreading the word about the blood drive. The turnout included a large number of the student population, employees of Conception Abbey, and local residents.  In the end, it was an amazing and humbling experience knowing that the time and blood donated to this cause will save lives.
