Why give blood? Because the Rhode Island Blood Center relies on our community to help provide over 200 units of life-saving blood and blood products to Rhode Islanders and our neighbors EVERY DAY. If you are eligible, please plan to give at the upcoming blood drive held at Newman Congregational Church, United Church of Christ - 100 Newman Avenue in Rumford. For more information on giving blood and to see if you are eligible, visit the Rhode Island Blood Center's website at ribc.org
