Holiday Heroes Blood Drive
Life saving blood is traditionally in short supply during the winter months, due to the holidays, travel schedules, inclement weather and illness. The Hays County Sheriff’s Office is hosting three blood drives in coordination with The Blood and Tissue Center of Central Texas to ensure this precious gift is available throughout the holiday season and beyond. The goal is to receive a minimum of 100 donors. Coordinator Jeff Jordan reminds folks that one blood donation can save two lives.
All donated blood from the drives will go to hospitals that service the citizens of Hays County: Central Texas Medical Center, Seton Medical Center Hays, St. David’s Hospital, Brackenridge Medical Center and Dell Children’s.
The blood drives will be held at three locations around Hays County:
