Always Giving!

Our volunteers donate more than just hours! When donating blood you never know who’s life you may be helping save. Volunteers like Joe Gagel, who gave so much to the community are in need of blood and platelets for many different reasons. Joe a retired public educator spent many years hiking and enjoying the health benefits of being in nature. As a Volunteer Trail Patrol member Joe loved to engage park visitors and shared his love of nature with them. We ask that in memory of Joe, you consider donating out Metroparks upcoming blood drive.
