That's strange why don't they give it to the blood banks? My daughter just did free hair cuts for those who donated blood because are blood bank was low. I totally don't understand them throwing blood away. IM glad the red cross is going to get the guy who wrote the minute manager (sorry can't think of he's name) to help them manage better. they mess up bad on money that was donated for a bad fire we had out here the money didn't go where it was suppose to. Any way I feel the red cross is very important to our country. Laural
