The Knights of Columbus in Anderson will host a BloodSource blood drive Sunday, Oct. 4, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Sacred Heart Church - Parish Hall, 3141 St. Stephans Dr., 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, you 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.
To make an appointment or for information call 378-8075. Established in 1948 as a not-for-profit community blood bank, BloodSource provides life-saving services to millions of people in 25 counties throughout Northern and Central California.
