Blood Drive: No matter your type, you can help

Did you know you can contribute a whole blood donation every 56 days, about every two months?

Whole blood contains red cells, white cells, and platelets. A single whole blood donation can help multiple people battling cancer, blood disorders, injuries, and more. It only takes about an hour, but the impact lasts a lifetime.

If you're ready to donate, Versiti Blood Center of Ohio will host a blood drive from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Aug. 23, at Reid Health in Lingle Hall. Can’t join us? The next opportunity is Aug. 26 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Reid Health Connersville.

Sign up at DonorTime.com, on the Donor Time app, or call (937) 461-3220, and receive a "Local Lifesaver" beverage tumbler from Versiti (while supplies last).

We appreciate the generosity of donors and their contributions to help others.
