Asbury has been hosting the Livermore community blood drive with the American Red Cross since December 2002.
How It Works
Each unit of blood is typically separated into three components: red blood cells, plasma (the liquid part) and platelets. Each component can go to a separate person, so each unit of blood (about a pint) can help up to three individuals.
Each day, the Bay Area’s hospitals need over 450 units of blood - seven days a week. In the Bay Area, only about 3% of eligible people donate blood.
