Give the gift of blood this year

LOCAL BLOOD DRIVE: NEED A COVID-19 ANTIBODY TEST?

What is a better gift for Christmas, than to give the gift of blood? The blood supply is extremely low, and the need is great. CarterBloodcare will be hosting a blood drive on Wednesday, Dec. 23 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. in the CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital–Sulphur Springs. The CarterBloodcare bus will park in the hospital parking lot, and every donor will receive a holiday food voucher, and be entered for a chance to win a Chevrolet Trax. For more information on how to signup, call/text 800-366-2834 or visit: ww3.greatpartners. org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/120339
