Kick back in the Port Moody fire hall truck bay and roll up your sleeve for the city's third blood donor clinic on May 4.
It's the second blood drive in the fire hall (the first was in the city hall Galleria) and PoMo Fire Rescue administrator Natalie Hayton hopes to reach the goal again this year.
"Our target was 76 units and we collected 89," from the 119 people who attended, Hayton said, "so it was very successful."
She's been spreading the word about the May 4 clinic via social media and says there are still appointments up for grabs, noting it's an easy way to help others with a direct and lasting impact.
"It's something you can give that doesn't cost anything," Hayton said.
Fire Chief Remo Faedo said the need to donate blood could not be overemphasized.
"It's ongoing, the need doesn't stop," he said. "And you never know when you might need blood yourself."
The clinic is on Wednesday, May 4 from 9:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. To book an appointment call 1-888-2DONATE or visit www.blood.ca.
