A Community Blood Bank blood drive has been set for noon to 5:30 p.m. on Monday at St. Bernard Church.
Anyone who donates blood is entered for a chance to win a $100 gift card to a store of their choosing. A winner will be drawn every week.
The Community Blood Bank is in urgent need of all blood types; however, there is a critical need for Type O blood donors.
“This is the time of year we reflect on all that we are thankful for,” said Jaclyn Seymour, community relations specialist for the Community Blood Bank. “Every year, thousands of local families are thankful the blood products are available when they are needed. That is why it is so important to have an adequate blood supply on the shelf year-round. It is the blood on the shelf that saves lives in accidents and trauma situations.”
