Donating blood can save a life. About every two seconds, someone in the United States need blood to save their life.
To help with the effort, the Elmira High School National Honor Society is hosting a Red Cross blood drive in the Auxiliary Gym from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 12.
Donors have to be age 16 or older. At this time, all appointments are full — about 48 total, according to NHS advisor Michelle Nelson. She suggested that those who didn’t get a chance to register but who would like to donate can stop by the gym on the day of the drive to check for cancellations.
Each donor will receive a $15 Amazon gift card.
NHS plans to hold another blood drive in March.
