Blood Drive at Townsend Town Hall: Stabilize the Blood Supply

There is a severe blood shortage, and it is crucial to help stabilize the blood supply so that patient care is not at risk. You are encouraged to consider donating blood at the American Red Cross Blood Drive hosted at Townsend Town Hall. The event will take place on April 27, 2026, from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Blood is a perishable product that can only be provided by volunteer donors. According to the Red Cross, someone in the United States needs blood every two seconds, so blood products must be replenished constantly. All blood types are needed, with special urgency for type O negative, A negative, and B negative donors.
