De Anza College's Health Services hosted a blood drive on Nov. 8 to help those who need blood.
"There always is a great demand for blood," said Sandra Sokabe, R.N., a clinic nurse at the Health Services.
Each donor was expected to donate approximately one pint of blood. One pint of blood could save up to four lives, said Sokabe.
About 65 participants signed up by Nov. 7 at the Stanford School of Medicine Blood Center's Web page. Sokabe said that she expected a lot of walk ins.
According to the Blood Center's Webpage, De Anza was one of nine Cupertino locations hosting blood drives throughout the year. De Anza has hosted blood drives for at least a decade, Sokabe said.
Each donor had to spend about one hour in Health Services. Snacks and refreshments were provided to donors after blood was drawn.
