Aransas Pass Blood Drive Helps Fill Holiday Need
At least 19 times, and counting, Terrell Moore, 66, of Aransas Pass has rolled up his sleeves and donated a pint of blood to the Coastal Bend Blood Center, last week set up with one of their mobile collection vehicles outside Walmart on W. Wheeler Ave. “It’s the right thing to do,” Moore said as the center hoped to collect up to 50 units of blood last Tuesday, November 14th to have supplies on hand when needed, especially around the holiday season when many people travel out of time and donors are not readily available. Niel Poulsen, 70, of Aransas Pass also answered the call. “It helps the community,” he said, a frequent donor. The blood drive is part of the ‘Hunting for Donors’ campaign and all contributors automatically got registered to win fabulous prizes, including a YETI cooler, concert and event tickets, and a $100 gas card, among others.
