Two local blood
drives scheduled
The Covington Eagles and Community Blood Center will offer warm thanks
to donors who support their New Year’s week blood drive Monday, Dec. 28
from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the lodge multi-purpose room, 715 East
Broadway.
St. Paul Lutheran Church in Versailles and Community Blood Center will
offer warm thanks to donors who support their New Year’s week blood
drive Monday, Dec. 28 from 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The CBC Bloodmobile
will be at 13495 Greenville-St. Marys Road.
Everyone who registers to donate at either event will receive a Holiday
Fleece Travel Blanket. Donors are encouraged to schedule an
appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or call 1-800-388-GIVE.
The Holiday Fleece Travel Blanket is perfect for a dash through the
snow in a one horse open sleigh… or to keep in the car during your
holiday travels! The blanket is a bright Rudolph red with a
reindeer and snowflake design and the edges stitched in white
thread. The size is an ample four feet by four feet, nine inches
and rolls neatly into a black travel pouch with the CBC blood drop logo.
The fleece blanket is free to anyone who registers to donate Monday,
Dec. 21 through Saturday, Jan. 9 at any CBC Donor Center and most CBC
mobile blood drives.
The busy holiday season is often a challenging time for maintaining the
area blood supply. Winter weather can disrupt travel and seasonal
illnesses can also interfere with donating. If you must miss an
appointment to donate please reschedule as soon as you are able.
We especially encourage the continued support of type O whole blood
donors and type A/B platelet and plasma donors.
