The American Red Cross is calling on Fairfield residents to help save lives by donating blood at an upcoming community blood drive. The event will take place on Wednesday, May 6th from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Community of Christ Family Life Center, located at 503 Windsor Lane.
According to the Red Cross, someone in the United States needs blood every two seconds, making regular donations vital for hospitals and patients in need. Organizers hope to see a strong turnout from the local community.
Appointments are encouraged to help reduce wait times. Interested donors can schedule a time to give by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767), visiting redcrossblood.org and entering the sponsor code COMMUNITYOFCHRIST, or by using the Blood Donor App.
As an added incentive, anyone who donates blood between May 1st and May 17th will receive a $20 Amazon eGift Card, courtesy of Amazon.
