(Undated) — Did you know nearly one-quarter of the blood supply is utilized by patients fighting cancer? That’s why this month, the American Red Cross and the American Cancer Society have teamed up to encourage people across the country to “Give Blood to Give Time,” ensuring loved ones have the strength and support to battle cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, 1 in 3 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Your next chance to donate is coming up tomorrow in Oblong. The Red Cross will be set up at the Community Building from 1 pm-6 pm. To learn more about the donation process and to find the drive nearest you visit redcrossblood.org.
