Donors Give Blood at City Hall

Representatives from the American Red Cross are hoping to collect at least 23 pints of blood today at a Clawson blood drive.

The drive started at 1 p.m. and will run through 7 p.m. in the community room. As of 2:15 p.m., eight donors had given blood. Each person can donate one pint of blood, which saves one life, said Kelley Delong, a spokeswoman for the American Red Cross.

Delong said walk-ins are welcome and the process of donating blood takes about one hour. There is still time left; the Red Cross takes its last appointment at 6:45 p.m.

If you can't make it today, there will be another blood drive from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Oct. 16 at . For more information visit redcrossblood.org.
