Mount Vernon Mills and Blood Assurance will be hosting a Blood Drive on Wednesday Sept 27 from 6AM until 5PM in the Denim Mill Central Conference Room at the Central Plaza. A tail-gate style cookout will be held and Football themed shirts or team color socks will be given as a special thank-you to all donors. Blood Assurance normally provides blood products just to our local Tri-state area however with the severe hurricanes in both Texas and Florida, blood donations will be used to help in these hard-hit areas as well. The community is invited to come donate along with Mount Vernon employees. Donors will also enjoy light refreshments.
