During the Holiday season, LifeSouth is asking the community to give blood to help patients in need during its “Don’t Be a Grinch” Blood Drive.
Those who wish to give blood will be able to attend any LifeSouth Donor center from Saturday, Dec. 17 until Sunday, Jan. 8.
The organization says that those who donate will not only be saving lives with their generosity but will also receive a $20 e-gift card that can be used at hundreds of retailers and restaurants.
If a donor gives a double red cell donation or a platelet donation, they will also receive an additional $20 e-gift card.
In addition to the e-gift card, blood donors will also receive refreshments and a mini-physical. This physical will check cholesterol and iron levels, temperature and blood pressure. Find a blood drive or donor center near you at lifesouth.org.
LifeSouth is a non-profit community blood bank that provides blood to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Atlanta Medical Center, North Fulton Hospital, Habersham Medical Center, Spalding Regional Medical Center and Sylvan Grove Hospital. Please help patients at local hospitals by donating blood.
The organization will be closed on Dec. 25 to observe Christmas Day.
