About a dozen employee, including sales people and administrative staff, joined in contributing to the San Diego Blood Bank.
They collect 150,000 units annually, but due to the high demand they need to collect even more.
“We invited the whole Imperial Valley to come over here to motors, donate blood. And it’s a wonderful thing to do, you know? I mean, help our community. We’re a local business, family owned, local business, and we’d like to give back to our community,” said John Banda, sales manager.
The blood bank staff says young people are the biggest donors in Imperial County.
