WILLIAMSBURG — The Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation is hosting a community blood drive with the American Red Cross on Monday at Jamestown Settlement.
“The Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation is committed to meaningful partnerships in our community,” said Christy S. Coleman, executive director. “Working with the American Red Cross on this blood drive is the museum’s way of supporting staff, colleagues and neighbors and helping save lives.”
The Oct. 21 blood drive will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the museum’s education wing classrooms, located at 2110 Jamestown Road near the Colonial Parkway.
The American Red Cross notes blood is a perishable product that can only come from volunteer blood donors, and with someone in the U.S. needing blood every two seconds, blood products must be constantly replenished. Donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative.
To make an appointment to donate or for additional information, call 757-253-5549 or sign up online at redcrossblood.org with sponsor code “JAMESTOWN.”
