The Vitalant mobile blood collection station stopped in Rugby for a second time in a week July 1 to meet a critical need for blood in North Dakota communities.
Vitalant staff had parked their blood mobile June 24 outside of Main Street Boutique in Rugby to collect blood in a drive organized by business owner Ashley Berg. They returned a week later to collect more blood at a drive organized by St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Knox, held at Rugby’s Calvary Evangelical Free Church.
