The Upper Connecticut Valley area abounds with opportunities to donate blood, including a donor center every Friday at Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital. The summer is an extremely difficult time to collect enough blood to meet patient needs. With so many choices, we hope you will give the Gift of Life every eight weeks.
