MEDINA – Orleans/Niagara BOCES’ Health Occupations Technician (HOT) students did a great job helping out at the ConnectLife Blood Drive at the Orleans Career and Technical Education Center.

Teacher Debbie Dittmer, teacher aide Meghan Carpenter and their seniors and juniors assisted in taking blood pressures and handing out snacks to the volunteers.

Members of the Career and Technical Education Center’s Maintenance staff stepped up to the plate to donate blood to help save lives. ConnectLife blood donors help supply more than 75% of the lifesaving blood supply in our community.

Every day, people across Western New York need whole blood donations for multiple reasons, those in the hospitals with traumatic injuries, those fighting cancer, blood disorders, surgery patients, mothers who have given birth and more. So proud of everyone who helped out for this important cause.
