Resident advocates for blood donations

Sylvia Snider will turn 75 in June, but that doesn’t stop her from donating blood and platelets, something she started doing about a decade ago, when the company she worked for in Walnut Creek held a blood drive. “There’s no age limit on donating blood,” she said. Now she’s popular with the American Red Cross, which calls her with reminders when she’s “due” to donate again.
