Ross companies host Vitalant to address much-publicized blood shortage

With blood shortages in the headlines, the Ross companies hosted Vitalant for a two-day donation drive that culminated in roughly 30 associates signing up to donate.

Vitalant, based in Elyria, set up their blood mobile in lots outside of the corporate offices of the Ross companies and also the plant in Eaton Township. Associates at both locations were more than game to pitch in.

Only 3% of the US population donates blood, even though most are eligible. The Ross companies are proud to have played a small role in a pivotal effort.
