GreyStone Holds Blood Drive Tuesday

The co-op hosts blood drives in honor of fallen lineman Travis Allen.

The American Red Cross will hold a blood drive at GreyStone Power on Tuesday, Oct. 16 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. The Red Cross has a goal to collect 40 units of blood that day,” said GreyStone Benefits Administrator 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.
