As the Wabash County Health Department prepares to host a blood drive tomorrow, the American Red Cross is again putting out a call for blood donors. With the holidays just around the corner, you are being asked to take an hour or so out of your day and give the gift of life. Red Cross spokeswoman Sharon Watson says this time of year, donating blood can become an afterthought.

All blood types are needed, especially type O, as that is usable for patients of all blood types. Tomorrow’s blood drive is at the First Baptist Church at 130 West 6th Street from 1 to 6pm.

Wabash General Hospital also has scheduled a blood drive for Thursday, November 16th.
