GENEVA, Ala. (WDNews) – Geneva High School will host a community blood drive on Wednesday, Sept. 3, as part of an effort to encourage local residents to donate blood and help save lives.
The drive, organized by LifeSouth Community Blood Centers, will be held from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. in the school auditorium, located at 505 Panther Drive.
Organizers say all donors will receive a recognition item, a free cholesterol screening, and a T-shirt. Donors must be at least 16 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds, and present a photo ID. Sixteen-year-olds will need written parental permission to participate.
“Blood is life. Don’t let it run out,” LifeSouth stated in its announcement.
The event aims to boost the local blood supply at a time when hospitals and patients depend on donations for emergency and long-term care.
