The Community Blood Center has scheduled multiple blood drives over the next month in Clark and Champaign counties.

The Center is asking for help to support the regional blood supply during the Labor Day holiday week and an ongoing shortage of type O blood.

To make an appointment, visit www.DonorTime.com, call 937-461-3220, or download the new Donor Time app. Everyone who registers to donate through Oct. 1 will get a free pair of “I Give for the Kids” socks honoring September Childhood Awareness Month. Those who register will also be entered in a drawing to win two tickets to “The Game,” Ohio State vs. Michigan on Nov. 26 in Columbus.

Donors must provide a photo ID that includes full name while past donors are asked to bring their CDC donor ID card. You must be at least 17 (16 with parental consent: form available at givingblood.org or CBC drive locations) and weigh at least 110 pounds (you may have to weigh more, depending on your height), and be in good physical health.
