Blood Drive to be held by WAC

Blood Drive to be held by WAC

Walton, NY- The Watershed Agricultural Council (WAC) will be hosting a blood drive from 12-5pm on Monday, July 24th, in Conference Room B, downstairs of the 44 West Street location.   

Blood shortages are common during the summer months, due to schools being out of session and families going on vacation. Red cells can only be stored up to 42 days, while platelets can only be stored up to five days, creating a constant need for blood donations. Please consider donating! 

To sign up in advance for a time slot, register online at: http://www.redcross.org/. Enter Walton’s zip code (13856) and go to the Watershed Agricultural Council Blood Drive. This drive is open to the public and WAC is encouraging community members to join in this effort.

For questions regarding the drive please contact Heather Ogden at [email protected] or at 607-865-7090
