Published Wednesday, March 18, 1998 in the Nevada County Picayune

A blood drive will be held Tuesday, March 24, from 2:00 until 6:00 p.m. at Central Baptist Church in Prescott.

The drive is sponsored by Greater Ozarks/Arkansas Region of American Red Cross Blood Services, Central Baptist Church and the Prescott community. The event will be held in the fellowship hall at 615 East Second South.

American Red Cross relies on healthy and caring individuals to donate blood to those who are in need.

Accident and burn victims, cancer patients, newborns and those suffering from numerous diseased depend on blood and its components 365 days a year.

Every seven minutes someone in Arkansas receives a blood transfusion, so the Greater Ozarks-Arkansas Region must collect 450 units of blood each day to ensure there is an ample supply for these patients.

The American Red Cross greatly appreciates the dedication of each community and its citizens for the efforts you put forth to allow other individuals a second chance at life, a news release stated.

If you are at least 17 years of age and weigh at least 110 pounds you may be able to give this opportunity to someone in need.
