DAYTON — Community Blood Center has a critical shortage of type O negative blood and a need for all donors as the holiday season begins.

Donate at the First Presbyterian Church of Troy community blood drive Wednesday, Nov. 30 from 2 to 6 p.m. at 20 South Walnut St., at Tipp City United Methodist Church, 8 W. Main St., Tipp City, on Thursday, Dec. 1 from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. or at the Greenville Federal Bank, 948 N. Market St., Troy, blood drive on Friday, Dec. 2 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

Everyone who registers to donate with CBC in November will get the navy knit Blood Donor Beanie and will be automatically entered in the “Battle of Ohio” drawing to win two tickets to the Bengals vs. Browns game Dec. 11 at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati.
