The MetLife Foundation has given $1,000 to the Rhode Island Blood Center for a program to teach Ocean State elementary school students in about the importance of donating blood. The grant was announced at a recent ceremony at MetLife Auto & Home’s Warwick office.
The program will highlight the importance of the center’s having a steady, safe blood supply available at all times. Studies have shown that the earlier a person understands the importance of giving blood, the more likely he or she will be to donate blood in later years.
