AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) — Saturday at PetSmart, Gracie’s Project held a blood drive with Coffee Memorial Blood Center and their Bloodmobile.

Tebeest said over the course of the blood drive, they were booked all the way through with appointments and they even had a few walk-ins. Tebeest said she would like to hopefully do this blood drive again after the turn out they had today.
“It’s just our way of supporting the community and giving back to something in the community because there are so many people in need of blood. It’s in such dire need right now and all the illnesses and we thought it would be a good time to do that,” said Tebeest.
On top of the blood drive, Gracie’s Project was also doing pet adoptions inside…
