Want a chance to become a hero?

It's happening at the Olin E. Teague Veterans’ Medical Center, 1902 Veterans Memorial Drive in Temple.

They are asking for your help to replenish Texas inventories by becoming a donor!

So put your cape on, wear your mask, sign up, and donate!

According to a news release put out by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs’ Central Texas Healthcare System, donors can donate blood every 56 days and are encouraged to schedule a time to donate.
