Georgia Military College Columbus to Host Blood Drive January 20th

Press release from the issuing company

Thursday, January 8th, 2015

Georgia Military College Columbus, located at 7300 Blackmon Road, will have the American Red Cross Bloodmobile on campus Tuesday, January 20, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Members of the community are invited to join us and help save lives by giving blood. Walk-ins are welcome, but those with appointments will have priority over walk-in donors.

The blood donation process takes about an hour from start to finish. Donating blood involves registration, a confidential health screening, the actual donation time, and free refreshments after the donation. Blood donation time lasts about 6-12 minutes.

A single blood donation can be separated into components of cells, platelets, and plasma, so one donation can help more than one person.

Please help us reach our blood donation goals and make an appointment to donate blood by calling 706-478-3144 or by visiting www.tinyurl.com/gmcjanblood.
