Blood drive will be held on Thursday
The Rhode Island Blood Center is hosting a blood drive on Thursday, June 21 from 3 to 8 p.m. at the Barrington Congregational Church, 461 County Road. Summers are a critical time for blood donations when businesses and schools are less likely to be holding drives. "It takes less than 20 minutes to donate, and your donation can save three lives," stated a recent release. All prospective donors must be feeling well and in good overall health. Donations can be accepted from people as young as 16 years of age (with parental permission). Walk up registrations are welcome, but appointments made in advance are encouraged. To make an appointment, call 453-8383 or register online at ribc.org/drives, using donor code 1562.
