Blood Drives Scheduled in June
The American Red Cross is scheduling a number of blood drives in the communities around Andover.
If you want to help out in a positive way but simply don't have the time to volunteer long hours, try donating your blood. The Massachusetts Region of the American Red Cross Blood Service is trying to encourage people to give blood and trying to remind others that blood donations are required everyday for patients in need.
Therefore, they are holding a number of blood drives in the next month in the general area. As an added bonus, all those that give blood receive a free 24-pack of bottled spring water and a coupon for 20 percent off your next purchase at Walgreens.
Here are locations to give blood in the immediate area (These dates were submitted by the American Red Cross Blood Services):
