American Red Cross needs blood

The American Red Cross urges residents in the Towns and Union counties area to donate blood. All blood types are needed at this time.

Because blood can be separated into three components- red cells, plasma and platelets- a single donation can save up to three lives.Eligible blood donors must be at least 17 years of age, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and be in general good health. Donors must have a form of positive identification in order to donate.

The Brasstown Valley Resort at Hwy 515 in Towns, will be happy to take your donations. Thursday, September 28, 2006 from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Please call Human Resources at 379-4620 to schedule your donation appointment.
