The American Red Cross needs help in collecting blood donations.

The ARC has collected about 50,000 fewer blood donations than needed over the last two months.

A blood drive will be held from 2-7 p.m. at the Bennettsville Community Center on Wednesday, Aug. 2.

Scan the QR code in the above photo or go to www.redcrossblood.org with the sponsor code bennettsvillecc to register to donate.

By scheduling and keeping appointments in August, donors can help provide for those in immediate need of lifesaving care.
