Give Blood Across Maine on 9/11 Day of Rememberence

One of the greatest things to come of the tragedy of the September 11th attacks, was the country coming together.

The question everyone was asking was, 'How can I help?' There was an immediate need for blood, and Americans gave like no other time. Life moves on and now that horrible tragedy was almost 20 years ago - but the need for blood never ends.
