Troup County will host an American Red Cross Blood Drive on Friday, March 25 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Troup County Government Center, located at 100 Ridley Avenue. To make an appointment, please visit redcrossblood.org and enter sponsor code: TCGC or call 1-800-RED-CROSS.

According to the Red Cross, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood, and one blood donation can help save the lives of up to three people. Those who are looking for a way to give back to your community, please consider donating blood.

The County urges the community to sign up for appointments in advance in order to schedule and regulate the number of people donating at once. Individuals who do not feel well should not attend this blood drive.
