YANCEY COUNTY TO SPONSOR
AMERICAN RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVES
The American Red Cross urges residents in the Yancey County 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.
In the more than 100 area hospitals served by the American Red
Cross, pre-mature babies, accident victims and patients with cancer
or recovering from surgery need approximately 1,500 units of blood
or blood products each day.
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.
Tuesday, April 27

Church
(101 N. Main Street; Burnsville, NC)
2:00 pm – 6:15 pm
Please call 828-231-3211 for further information or to schedule your
appointment.
All presenting donors will be entered in a drawing for a chance to
win a cruise for two!
