BLOOD DRIVE HOSPITALITY TABLE VOLUNTEER –February 2011
A volunteer will represent UNYTS at a blood drive and help monitor donors at the refreshment table after donation. It is important for volunteers to express appreciation to the donor for giving the Gift of Life, pre-register them for an upcoming blood drive and encourage the donor to potentially volunteer at UNYTS in other capacities. The goal of the volunteers in these roles is to encourage all donors to be returning UNYTS blood donors.
