Blood drive next Tuesday
The Westbrook Knights of Columbus Council 2219 is sponsoring an American Red Cross blood donation opportunity from 1 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 18, at the Community Center.
It’s the first Knights sponsored blood drive in more than a year due to Red Cross staffing shortages, according to Knights member Russ Champagne in an announcement. The location was moved to the Community Center because the building has air conditioning, Champagne said Tuesday, a new Red Cross policy.
For an appointment, call the American Red Cross at 1-800-RED CROSS or go to redcrossblood.org and enter sponsor code KOCWestbrook.
