The Laredo Job Corps Center holds a blood drive every quarter that usually attracts between 30 to 40 students and faculty donors, said Martha Raz, Human Resources Manager. Of the people who signed up, some weren’t able to donate blood for health or other reasons. Job Corps students range in age from 16 to 24. A South Texas Blood And Tissue representative said that she hopes to get more people in their late teens and early 20s in the habit of donating so they will eventually do it a few times a year. Please contact your local Blood And Tissue Office if you are interested on holding a drive in your community.
