Blood drive set Thursday
A blood drive is scheduled to take place in Albany Thursday afternoon, Jan. 2.
Hendrick Regional Blood Center (formerly Meek Blood Center) will park its bloodmobile at First Baptist Church from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.
The blood center depends on volunteer blood donors to supply 100 percent of the blood that is used for patient care at 17 area hospitals.
The Kiwanis Club blood drives are scheduled roughly every eight weeks throughout the year. The next one should be in mid-March.
