The American Red Cross will hold a blood drive at GreyStone Power on Thursday, May 24 from noon to 6 p.m. The event will be held in GreyStone’s auditorium at the Douglasville office, located at 4040 Bankhead Highway. GreyStone hosts blood drives in honor of former lineman Travis Allen, who was killed in the line of duty.

“Once again, the need for donors is urgent,” said GreyStone Human Resource Specialist Judy Shaw. You may donate whole blood once every 56 days and every 112 days if donating double red blood cells.

If you would like to give, please schedule an appointment by contacting the Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767.

All who donate blood between now and June 30, 2012 will be automatically entered to win one of three $1,000 gift cards from the Red Cross.
