COVINGTON, Va. (VR) – Red Cross is hosting a blood drive at the First Christian Church, located at 231 E. Fudge Street in Covington, on Tuesday, July 9.
The event will be held in the fellowship hall at the Family Life Center and will run from 11.00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. providing ample opportunity for community members to donate blood and help save lives. Blood donations are crucial in ensuring a stable and sufficient blood supply for patients in need. Every two seconds, someone in the United States requires blood, and a single donation can potentially save up to three lives. The American Red Cross is dedicated to ensuring that blood is readily available for those in need, and blood drives like the one in Covington play a vital role in achieving this goal.
