Give Blood at the Costick Center Jan. 16

The drive comes during National Blood Donor Month, when collections are low.

Give the gift of life Jan. 16, during a blood drive sponsored by the Southeastern Michigan branch of the American Red Cross at the Costick Center, 28600 W. 11 Mile Rd. in Farmington Hills.

January, National Blood Donor Month, is historically a difficult time to collect donations due to the cold weather and the demands of the New Year. Blood donations are used for emergency and trauma care, surgeries, and the treatment of serious diseases. 

To make an appointment to donate during the drive from 8 a.m. until 7:45 p.m., call 248-473-1800 or register online at redcrossblood.org with the sponsor code costickcenter.
