The Knights of Columbus will host a BloodSource blood drive from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Sunday, April 5, at Sacred Heart Parish, 3141 St. Stephans Drive.
The blood drive is designed to meet the community's need for blood and blood products. Blood donations are used to treat burn victims, transplant patients, people who must undergo surgery, those injured in accidents, patients with leukemia and more.
To give blood, the potential donor must be in generally good health, free from cold symptoms for at least 48 hours, be at least 17 years old - 16 years old with parental consent - and weigh at least 110 pounds.
There is no upper age limit for donating blood.
Prospective donors must bring a photo ID. The entire process takes about an hour.
For more information or to make an appointment, call 530.378.8075
