Red Cross will extend donor hours

8/28/2003

The American Red Cross blood donor center, 3510 Executive Pkwy., will extend its hours through Monday so there is an adequate blood supply during the Labor Day weekend.

The donor center will be open from 7 a.m. to noon Saturday; from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday.

Blood donors must be at least 17, weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health, feel well the day of donation, and not have donated whole blood in the previous 56 days.

All those who arrive to give blood will receive one of a selection of gifts, including T-shirts, ball caps, and the Buddy Blood Drive stuffed character.
