The Bell City Community blood drive for Red Cross will take place from 2 to 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Bell City High School.
The high school is at Highway 91 and School Street.
All blood types are needed. There is an urgent need for type O blood.
Type O blood is the most common and is used in 52 percent of all surgeries. Since only 46 percent of the population has type O blood, matching donors are asked to give blood more frequently.
For more information about the Bell City Community blood drive or other drives in the area call the American Red Cross at 1-800-GIVE-LIFE. T-shirts will be given to all donors.
