The Bethel Police Department hosted a blood drive on Monday.  The Red Cross was able to get 29 whole blood donations.  Each donation helps three people, so 87 patients in hospitals across Connecticut have been helped.  Bethel Police will be hosting another Blood Drive on Wednesday, May 13th from 11am to 4pm.  People making an appointment to donate online at redcrossblood.org must use the sponsor code BETHELPD.  The event will not show up unless the sponsor code is entered.
