LifeStream blood bank’s Volunteer Services program celebrates National Volunteer Week April 18-22 with special events at LifeStream donor centers in San Bernardino, 384 W. Orange Show Road; and Ontario, 1959 Fourth St. Volunteers will be presented presidential pins of gold, representing 500+ hours of service in 2015; silver (250-499 hours) and bronze (100-249 hours.) Also, Rookies of the Year will be announced and presented the Shining Star. “National Volunteer Week not only gives us the opportunity to announce these well-deserved awards, but to thank all members of our great volunteer staff, who perform a variety of important duties,” said Pat Schindler, LifeStream’s volunteer services manager. “Our volunteers assist donors in the canteen following their life-giving deeds, transport needed blood products to hospital partners, represent LifeStream at community events, register community members to the national marrow registry program and more.” Volunteers range from students to retirees. “People have a great time volunteering for LifeStream, knowing they’re making a difference in our community,” Schindler said. “And we’re always open to others who want to be part of a lifesaving process.”
