A Blood Assurance blood drive will be held today at the Chattooga County Farm Bureau office on Commerce Street in Summerville.

The blood drive will take place from 10 AM until 12:15 PM.  In addition to a free t-shirt, blood donors will also be entered to win a $500 home makeover giveaway basket.

Blood Assurance will take the entries from all visitors to all Blood Assurance locations and bloodmobiles and randomly draw three winners in February. The odds of winning are based on the number of entries into the contest.

Donating blood is a safe, simple and rewarding experience that usually takes less than an hour! Donating is easy, and it makes a huge difference in the lives of others.
