Blood Assurance helping earthquake relief

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – One way locals can help those affected by the earthquake is to donate blood.

Blood Assurance has already sent 60 bags of blood to help those who are in need.

They say they need more people to donate so that they can keep the stock high enough that local hospitals will have enough.

J.B. Gaskins, President and CEO of Blood Assurance hopes that people will remember to donate during the Holiday season.

Blood Assurance will be back open on Monday for people to donate.
