Blood donation helps people in our community. Donors, especially those who donate regularly, keep our nation's blood supply stable. Although many people donate blood after disasters, blood is needed every day of the year, every two seconds in the United States. Because of this need, Moore Norman Technology Center hosts a blood drive twice a year. According to Our Blood Institute, one donation can save up to three lives.

More reasons to donate:

• Each donation can impact the lives of many loved ones and friends.
• Another way to fulfill part of MNTC’s mission statement of changing lives and building better tomorrows.
• Employees earn the Blood Donation Wellness Badge.
• You get a t-shirt and a snack.
• Giving back to the community.
