An individual within the area that Community Blood Center serves needs a blood transfusion every four minutes. In order to meet that need, Community Blood Center must collect 550 pints of blood each day.
Blood donors can help meet these local needs by appearing at two local blood drives.
Gallatin is holding a blood drive from 3-7 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 12, at the Methodist Church. To sign up, please call Linda Steward at 660-663-2641.
The Pattonsburg blood drive will be held from 2:30-6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 15, at the First Baptist Church, Junction 69 and C Hwy. in the west side of the building. To sign up, please call Craig and Rhonda Lambert at 660-367-4703.
Sixty percent of the United States population is eligible to donate blood, however, only 6% actually donate. Just one donation can help as many as three local hospital patients. An individual can donate blood every eight weeks.
