Blood Donations Down 03-09-21A 07:56 S.S.

Due  to  the  pandemic,  many  people  who  would  normally  have  donated  blood  in  the  past  year, have  not  done  so….and  that  means  that  blood  banks  are  low  on  blood.   To try and  resolve  that  issue,  a  number  of  blood  drives  are  scheduled  to  be  held  over  the  next  couple  weeks.      

Below are upcoming blood drives by county:
