Give the Gift of Life This Week

blood-drive

(Undated) — Christmas is exactly three weeks away and even though you are busy getting ready for time with family and friends the Red Cross reminds you to give the gift of life. Tracy Peterson with the Red Cross reminds everyone that this time of year it is especially important to donate since during the holiday season the demand for blood increases just as supply decreases.

Your first chance to donate is coming up this week. The American Red Cross will be at the Oblong Community Building from 8:30-2:30 and at CMH from 1-5pm this Thursday. They will be at the Flat Rock Fire House Saturday from 8-1pm. The Red Cross will be at the Robinson Community Center on the 20th, at Good Sam Occupational Health and Acute Care on the 29th.
