MCALLEN, Texas ( ValleyCentral ) — Community members and employees with the City of McAllen joined at city hall Wednesday morning to participate in a blood drive. Vitalant hosted the blood drive in hopes to increase the low supply in the Rio Grande Valley. 'Over 70% of the Rio Grande Valley can donate, but only 3 percent actually do,' Ali Arredondo III, Donor Recruitment Manager for Vitalant said. The City of McAllen partners with Vitalant to host blood drives twice a year at city hall. 'It's very convenient for us to come to them rather go to our center due to busy schedules,' Arredondo said.
