Brandi’s Story:
Building Community Through Blood Drives

_{As a lifestyle director, Brandi loves finding ways to bring her community together, and hosting blood drives quickly became one of her favorite ways to do that. By opening her neighborhood’s doors to donors, she made it easy for people to give back close to home. For Brandi, the most rewarding part is knowing lives are being saved. “One day it could be me, a family member, or a friend in need. That is why I do it.” She understands some people feel hesitant at first, but she encourages them by saying, “Once you do it, you will realize there is nothing to worry about, and you will want to keep going back to help save lives.”}

_{Outside of organizing drives, Brandi enjoys staying active, spending time with family and friends, and hosting blood drives, which are another way she lives out her passion for connection and community.}
