'This is the first time we've partnered with the blood bank, so I'm excited,' said Ruth Thompson, Director of the ANNA Shelter. 'Maybe it'll be an annual thing if it works out well with them, but definitely our way of giving back. I love to help and support all of the other non-profits in the area if I can, we can, so hopefully it's something we can do again.'
