Colorado State Patrol and Vitalant partner for statewide blood drive

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — In March, Colorado State Patrol is partnering with Vitalant for a blood drive. 

According to Vitalant, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. However, donations of blood see a sharp decline during the winter months - now Colorado is facing a critical blood shortage.
