CBC wrapping up another successful blood drive at FUMC Quitman!
The results were:
- 18 whole blood units collected; no double reds or plasma units collected.
- We had 2 new donors to our event and both were volunteers at the morning ETFB Quitman food distribution (a double service day!).
- We had 1 no show, 1 walk up and 2 donors that were deferred.

- Plasma is effective in treating patients suffering from burns, trauma, certain blood disorders, and a variety of other conditions.
