JUDA — The Juda High School is hosting a blood drive from 1 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 26 at Juda Schools, N2385 Spring Street.

Blood is a perishable product that can only come from volunteers. By donating blood, individuals can make a difference in the lives of patients in their community and throughout the nation. 

To make an appointment or to learn more, download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Completion of a RapidPass online health history questionnaire found at redcrossblood.org/rapidpass is encouraged to help speed up the donation process. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. 

Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. 

High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
