The blood drive will be held from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Fire and Police Training Center, 3200 Amnicola Highway.
Donors must be at least 18 years old, although 16- and 17-year-olds can give with a parent's consent. They must weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health, and should eat an iron-rich meal before giving blood.
