• The Bradford High School community blood drive Thursday, Dec. 16 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the auditorium, 750 Railroad Ave., Bradford. The blood drive is open to all eligible students, staff, parents and community members. Appointments are encouraged. Schedule online at www.DonorTime.com or call (937) 461-3220.
• The Piqua Harley-Davidson community blood drive Saturday, Dec. 18 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 1501 East Ash St., Piqua.
The holiday season is an important time to donate. Many businesses and organizations are not hosting blood drives due to continued COVID-19 related restrictions and people are often distracted from donating during this busy time of holiday activities and travel.
The season of giving is a good time to give back. CBC asks community members to consider becoming a blood donor, donating more often, becoming a platelet or plasma donor, or sponsoring a blood drive. Call (937) 461-3220 to learn how you can help.
