OWASA and the American Red Cross are holding a blood drive from 10 o’clock until 2:30 Tuesday afternoon.
The blood drive will be held in the community room on the lower floor of the OWASA administration building at 400 Jones Ferry Road, Carrboro.
Ryan Corcoran is the donor recruitment director for the Carolinas Blood Services Region. He says blood donations tend to decline around the holidays.
“But patients don’t get a holiday from needing blood. The Red Cross encourages the community to come forward with OWASA to give the gift of life.”
Donors must be in general good health, have photo identification, weigh at least 110 pounds and be 17 years old. 16 year olds may participate with parental consent. All donors under 18 must meet height and weight requirements.
Walk-ins are welcome after noon. For appointment information visit the Red Cross website.
