Belinda Wimberley gives blood, one of many who took the opportunity to donate at the LifeSouth Bloodmobile at Russellville Hospital recently. Wimberley said she gives three or four times a year, motivated by the ongoing need, particularly in times of natural disasters like those recently in Texas and Florida. “It makes you feel blessed you haven’t had (a disaster) in your area,” she said. “It’s better to be on the giving end.”
