ATLANTA – National Ambassador Devonta Sullivan of Veterans for America First (VFAF) led a vital holiday blood drive in Georgia, continuing his leadership of the Vet Force operation on the ground. Hosted at Park Avenue Baptist Church, the drive was conducted in collaboration with the American Red Cross and saw excellent turnout from local supporters.
“Devonta’s actions show us that patriotism means taking care of one another,” said Kartik Bhatt, Georgia Deputy Political Director. “He exemplifies servant leadership.”

With only a small percentage of eligible Americans donating, every drive makes a real difference—especially during high-need seasons.
