Everyone is encouraged to stop by the Centre Walmart this Friday (August 10th) – between the hours of 2:00 and 6:00, for the Hometown Heroes Blood Drive, headed up by the Centre Fire Department for Blood Assurance.
When you donate Friday you’ll be helping more than ever. Summer is traditionally the time when blood supplies are at critically low levels, and every donation is truly giving the gift of life – PLUS during the Hometown Heroes Drive each participating department is competing to see who can get the most donors to come out and support the cause, with the top station receiving a $500 grant to go toward a first responder’s education or new equipment.
We urge everyone to do their part and support the Centre Fire Department and everyone in the local community and across the region by donating during the Hometown Heroes Blood Drive sponsored by Blood Assurance.
