Blood drives to be held this week

There will be three Community Blood Bank blood drives in Warren County this week.

Warren General Hospital will host a drive from noon to 5 p.m. Thursday.

There will also be a drive at Walmart from 2 to 6 p.m. Thursday.

The third will be at First Presbyterian Church from 1 to 5 p.m. Friday.

“All donors who give blood from July 1 to July 15 will be entered for a chance to win two tickets to the area amusement park of their choice — Waldameer, Cedar Point or Kennywood,” Mobile Drive Coordinator Sydnee Groenendaal. “All blood types are needed, especially type O blood.”

“By donating blood, you can help beat blood shortages and ensure a sufficient supply of blood products to meet the needs of patients in your community,” Groenendaal said. “Blood shortages can lead to delayed treatments, increased risks during childbirth, and inadequate supply for individuals with blood disorders, or other conditions requiring regular transfusions. Every blood donation has the potential to save multiple lives, making it a critical and invaluable contribution to the well-being of the community.”

Starting at $3.50/week.
