MBS will also be setting up a drive at the EMBDC Home and Garden Expo on April 21 from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. The donor coach will be at the Tommy Dulaney Building. Donors will receive their choice of an MBS T-shirt or a $10 gift card during the drives on April 17 and April 21. Donors can now check their total cholesterol on their MBSConnect Account.
