RoC hosting blood drive Wednesday

HOPE – LifeShare Blood Centers will be conducting a fall blood drive at Rainbow of Challenges on Wednesday, September 26.

Donations may be made at the mobile donor coach located at the ROC Administration building on South Main Street from 9:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.

The only requirement to give blood is the donor must be 17 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health and provide current identification.

The process takes about 30 minutes and a trained technician will insure the donor is comfortable and safe.
