We Are Blood spotlights its canteen volunteers

Wednesday, April 10, 2024 by Beth Bond
With National Volunteer Week coming up on April 21-27, Central Texas’ blood bank, We Are Blood, is spotlighting the 100-plus volunteers who staff its canteens daily, helping make blood donors’ experience better by giving them drinks and snacks to stay well-hydrated and boost glucose levels after blood loss. We Are Blood is the sole provider of blood to more than 50 hospitals. In 2023, canteen host volunteers provided 5,760 hours of service at three of WrB’s donation centers: North Lamar, Cedar Park and South Austin. We Are Blood is always seeking new volunteers.
