Donate Blood At SDCCU Branch In San Diego's North County

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — San Diego County Credit Union is hosting blood drives Wednesday at six locations in San Diego County, including a branch in North County.

The blood drives are in support of the San Diego Blood Bank, which SDCCU has supported for more than 20 years. One of the blood drives is slated at the Encinitas branch.
