Alvena Matthews, a first-time blood donor, was among those who received a doughnut for donating blood during a blood drive at the 3Arts Village Shopping Centre on Friday June 30. June was National Blood Donor Month and the Western Cape Blood Service has urged people to donate as its blood stocks have taken dip during winter. The next mobile donation clinic at the Plumstead shopping centre will take place in September. Visit www.wcbs.org.za for more information. Photograph: Supplied.
