The American Red Cross will be hosting a blood drive in West Point November 30 at the Donald Nielsen Center.
Organized by West Point-Beemer High School and the community, the drive will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Donations will be accepted the whole month of November, though. As November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, successful donations from November 1-30 will get free A1C testing, commonly used to screen for prediabetes and diabetes.
Those who donate blood November 23-December 6 will receive an exclusive American Red Cross x Wheel of Fortune mug, while supplies last.
Donors can call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter: WestPoint to schedule an appointment. As 1 in 3 people are diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, the American Red Cross says it is critical to keep the blood supply stable.
