Montgomery Police Celebrate 90 Years of Service With Blood Drive

Will you donate?

Montgomery County police will celebrate 90 years of service in the county with a community blood and food drive this week. 

From 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, residents are invited to the county’s new Public Safety Headquarters at 100 Edison Park Drive in Gaithersburg to honor family and friends in the armed forces, law enforcement or fire and rescue services.

The American Red Cross in August reported its blood reserve had hit a 15-year low.
