February blood drive in Colfax a success

COLFAX — The February blood drive in Colfax at Colfax United Methodist Church was a success.

The goal was to collect 25 units of blood, and a total of 24 units were actually collected — in spite of a less-than-perfect weather day.

The Methodist church, in addition to hosting the blood drive, provided cookies. The Colfax Comets 4-H Club donated crackers and cheese. The American Legion Auxiliary brought coffee and lemonade.

A variety of volunteers helped throughout the day.

The next Red Cross Bloodmobile in Colfax will be Thursday, June 19.
