Two “DeKalb County Neighbors Helping Neighbors” blood drives are coming up in January.
The first will be Friday, January 10 from 8 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. outside in the parking lot of the Family Medical Center in the bloodmobile. The second blood drive will be Monday January 20 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. at the Community Complex in front of the Senior Citizens location. At the Family Medical Center drive, all donors will be given a “BA Fleece Blanket” and those age 18 and older will be entered in two drawings for a “$200 Pier 1 Imports Gift Card” and a “Las Vegas trip for two”.
