Area blood drives planned for September

    Blood supplies remain critically low. Those who step up to donate represent an unsung hero vital to the survival of individuals who require transfusions daily. Blood and organ donation remain generous yet simple life-saving gifts an individual can offer.
    Blood drives will be held in the Houlton area Tuesday, Sept. 6, at the Houlton Regional Hospital in the Education Center. Donor hours are 12 – 5 p.m. Another opportunity to donate will be on Thursday, Sept. 15, at Hodgdon High School. Donor hours are from 8:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. And finally, on Sept. 16, at the John A. Millar Civic Center, sponsored by the Community Living Association. Donor hours are from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
