The Green community is partnering with the American Red Cross once again to help patients in need throughout northern Ohio. The 11th Annual Green Community Blood Drives will run through Saturday, April 25.
This spring, the Red Cross is asking volunteer blood donors to and all who donate at the Green Community Blood Drives will receive a free “Recycle Life, Give Blood” t-shirt from the Red Cross.
The Green Community Blood Drives are sponsored by 1590 WAKR, The Chapel in Green, The Suburbanite, Green High School and the community of Green.
“It is only with the help of the local community that the American Red Cross is able to continue its life-saving mission.
