A vital Blood Assurance Blood Drive is set to take place on Friday, January 3, from 11 AM to 3 PM at the Chattooga County EMA / 911 Headquarters, located at 170 Farrar Drive in Summerville. This event aims to encourage community members to roll up their sleeves and make a difference in the lives of those in need. To celebrate National Blood Donor Month, all blood donors will receive a complimentary “Save Lives” long-sleeve shirt, available while supplies last. This initiative not only provides an opportunity to give back but also raises awareness about the importance of blood donation. Organizers recommend that donors prepare for the event by enjoying a nutritious meal beforehand, avoiding energy drinks, staying hydrated with plenty of water, and bringing a valid form of identification. It’s important to remember that just one blood donation can save up to three lives. For those interested in participating, please visit www.bloodassurance.org/chattco or call 1-800-962-0628 to sign up. Your donation can make a significant impact
