Blood drive Tuesday at First Baptist

The American Red Cross will hold a blood drive Tuesday, July 13, from noon to 6:00 p.m., at the First Baptist Church of Commerce Family Life Center, 1345 S. Elm Street.

The American Red Cross provides blood services to all area hospitals, including BJC Hospital, Athens Regional Medical Center and the Gainesville and Atlanta hospitals.

The Red Cross recently cited a critical need for O negative type blood. O negative is the “universal donor” type that can be given to any person of any blood type.

Potential donors must be 17, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health.

All donors will receive a Chick-fil-A coupon and have their names entered in a drawing for a $1,000 gift card.
