The American Red Cross is holding an emergency blood drive on Friday at the Acworth Beach House.
The Red Cross, the nation's largest blood provider, supplies more than 120 hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout the state with blood. Blood collections through the organization are at the lowest they have been in 15 years due to extreme heat, severe storms and the mid-week Independence Day holiday.
The blood drive runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Beach House in Cauble Park, 2293 Beach Street in Acworth. Each donor will receive a Shark Week t-shirt and be entered to win Georgia Aquarium tickets and a $3,000 gift card.
To schedule an appointment: Jeff Chase, 770-917-1234; jchase@acworth.org
