Blood drive planned today

By Melinda L. Lucas

An Albany blood drive is set for this afternoon, June 22.

Hendrick Regional Blood Center will park the bloodmobile at First Baptist Church at the usual time from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m., but local donors are reminded to note the switch back to Thursdays.

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, with other 2023 events planned Aug. 17, Oct. 12, and Dec. 7.
