Schenectady County, in collaboration with the American Red Cross, is hosting a blood drive today (Thursday, January 16) at the Karen B. Johnson Library on Clinton Street. The event will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Blood donations typically decrease during the winter months, making this drive crucial for maintaining adequate blood supplies. To encourage participation, everyone who donates today will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a trip for two to Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans next month.
Appointments are required to donate blood and can be scheduled in advance through the Red Cross website at redcrossblood.org. This initiative aims to boost blood reserves and support those in need during the colder season.
