Vitalant blood drives planned at Mesa churches

Seven Mesa churches are hosting Vitalant blood drives in November.

Donors of all types are needed to help patients in emergencies and for planned treatments for cancer and blood disorders. The need is greatest for type O, the most transfused and most compatible when there’s no time to test a patient’s blood type, it states at https://www.vitalant.org.

They are:

•  7:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 1 at St. Bridget Catholic Church — Collins Hall, 2213 N. Lindsay Road in Mesa.
