Mississippi Blood Services (MBS) will be at Dollar General in Vardaman on Tuesday, August 12, from 12 – 6 p.m.
The MBS Donor Coach will be on site at the East Sweet Potato Street location. All donors will receive a T-shirt and a gift card (while supplies last). Donors can now check their total cholesterol on their MBSConnect Account!
“A unit of blood may not seem like much to a healthy person,” Susan Ates, MBS public relations specialist, said. “But the effects of saving a life are far reaching. It’s not just the patient, but his or her family, friends and community that are impacted.”
Donating blood is safe, simple and it saves lives. Donors must be at least 17 years old (16 years old with signed parental consent, visit our Web site for a copy of the form), weigh at least 110 pounds and have a valid ID.
