Blood drive Aug. 30 named for ex-mayor

8/21/2018

The United Labor Committee and American Red Cross are hosting a blood drive Aug. 30 in memory of former Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins.

The Red Cross has an emergency need for blood as blood products are being shipped to hospitals almost immediately. More donations are needed to replenish the blood supply.

The drive is from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. at UAW Local 12, 2300 Ashland Ave. Donors get a T-shirt, $10 Visa gift card, lunch, coupon for a free Tony Packo’s hot dog, and tickets to the University of Toledo’s football game against Nevada.
