Because the demand for blood never lets up, each day the Community Blood Center must collect 580 pints of blood.
It isn’t every day you can do something to save someone’s life but by donating blood at the Community Blood Center blood drive from 2-6 p.m. on Thursday, March 19, at the Searcy Elementary lunch room, you will be doing just that. This blood drive is being sponsored by FCCLA.
To make an appointment online go to www.esavealifenow.org and use Sponsor Code gallatinhighschool. You may also contact Becky Adkison at 663-2172. T-Shirt to donor.
Requirements for a blood donor are few — you must be at least 16 years of age, weigh 115 pounds and be in good health. Individuals are asked to bring photo identification such as a driver’s license. The Community Blood Center staff performs various health checks on all donors including temperature, blood pressure and hemoglobin. All donors also receive cholesterol results, which are mailed to the individual’s home four to six weeks after their donation.
