Ronda Henry, SERVPRO of Palm Desert, giving blood at the Nine Cities Blood Drive Challenge

The 2017 Nine Cities Blood Drive Challenge is on! Coachella Valley communities are going head-to-head to collect the most LifeStream blood donations to assist local hospital patients.  Our very own, Ronda Henry of SERVPRO of Palm Desert gave her donation this past weekend at the Palm Desert Community Center.

Speaking of challenges, summer is the most challenging time of year for hospitals to maintain ample blood supplies for emergency and everyday needs. Your help at this time is especially critical!

Round up the neighbors – donate blood – make your city #1!

Those who give the gift of blood are helping everybody. Donating blood is one act in which society prospers. Think about it – there are no specifics from donors when it comes to giving blood, no questions as to their motivation, and no limits on the gratitude of those on the receiving end of this priceless gift. Clearly, blood donation matters.  At SERVPRO of Palm Desert, we care about saving lives in our Coachella Valley.
