Herkimer County Community College to Host Red Cross Blood Drive

Herkimer County Community College will be hosting an American Red Cross blood drive on Thursday, September 17, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in Alumni Hall, located in the Robert McLaughlin College Center.

Community members are encouraged to schedule an appointment and help support a successful blood drive. The drive has a hospital commitment of 17 units, and there is a particular need for type O blood. Filling the appointment schedule helps account for potential cancellations and no-shows.

According to the American Red Cross, donating is a safe process, and healthy individuals should schedule a donation to help maintain the nation’s blood supply; one blood donation can help up to three people in need.
