The Armed Services Blood Program held a blood drive March 5 at Cannon Air Force Base.

The ASBP plays a key role in providing blood during emergencies for service members and their families during both times of peace and war.

As managers of the blood program for the Department of Defense, and having been around for more than 50 years, this was not the first visit to Cannon by the ASBP. The plan is to return each quarter with new goals to provide blood for service members.

The next scheduled blood drive is slated for June 4. Monitor the 27th Special Operations Wing Facebook page for upcoming opportunities to donate blood on base.
