One pint of blood takes about 10 minutes to give. This month, Union neighbors have a chance to spend that time helping someone they may never meet.
The Township of Union is hosting a Town Wide Blood Drive at the Union Arts Center, and Union County Life is sharing the details so residents can plan a visit. Vitalant, a blood collection group, will run the drive inside the center's DMK Black Box Theater.
The drive is for community members who want to donate. Donor eligibility rules, such as age and ID, are not listed, so check with Vitalant when you book. Vitalant offers several ways to give.
