Every day, employees at businesses across the region punch a time clock, do their job, and leave for the day.
But, some employees are heroes to complete strangers.
Different companies from all over host blood drives with the Community Blood Bank.
Dresser Pipeline Solutions in Bradford, PA has held blood drives with the Community Blood Bank several times a year for more than a decade.
The employees there have donated more than 400 units of blood, saving the lives of more than 1,300 people.
Deborah Moyer helps organize the blood drives because its close to her heart. She is a cancer survivor and received blood during her treatments.
Also, her husband experienced a GI bleed and was in critical condition, also on the receiving end of blood transfusions.
“My daughters and I sat there and thought ‘thank god there’s blood,’ because if there wasn’t we would have lost my husband and their dad,” said Deborah Moyer, Dresser Pipeline Solutions.
The Blood Watch Numbers for today are:
A+ Adequate
A- Critically Low
