The Mower County Chapter of the American Red Cross would like to thank all blood donors who helped make the October 2013 Austin community blood drive a great success. A total of 248 units were collected during the three-day draw.

A special thanks to the VFW and many volunteers for their help with setup and tear-down. Also, thanks to the following businesses for their contributions and support. St. Edwards Church and Corcoran Center, Sue Viehauser, Steve and Austin Culvers, Culligan Water Conditioning, Hy-Vee Foods, Jim’s Market Place Foods, Austin Daily Herald, Rochester Post Bulletin, KAUS Radio and KAAL TV.

Plan now to donate at the next Austin community blood drive on Feb. 3-5, 2014. There is no substitute for human blood. The gift of life runs through you. Contact the American Red Cross at 800-733-2767 or online at www.redcrossblood.org for more information or to schedule an appointment.
