Give the Gift of Blood
To supplement critically low blood supplies in the area, the City of Troy is sponsoring several Red Cross Blood Drives this holiday season.
“The blood needs of our community can only be met by support from volunteer blood donors,” City of Troy Community Affairs Director Cindy Stewart said. “Donations are critical for burn victims, open-heart surgeries, some chemotherapy and leukemia patients, and disaster relief. One donation can help save the lives of up to three people.”
The drives will be held at the Troy Community Center and Troy Fire-Police Training Center on the following schedule:
Troy Community Center, 3179 Livernois
Wednesday, December 19, from 9 a.m. – 8:30 p.m. in Room 305
Wednesday, December 26, from 9 a.m. – 8:30 p.m. in Rooms 304 & 305
