The American Red Cross will host two special blood drives around Thanksgiving. You can donate at the donor center in Murray, 6616 S. 900 East, the day before Thanksgiving from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the day after from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Demand for blood supplies stays constant, but supplies drop during holiday periods. Hope is the special drive will give the situation a much-needed boost. Donors will be entered to win turkeys, gift certificates and Jazz tickets. The donor center will also be a drop-off point for the Utah Food Bank during this and other holiday blood drives.
Appointments are encouraged. Call 800-448-3543 or visit www.helpsavealife.org.
