SOUTH WAYNE - The American Red Cross will host a community blood drive from 2 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11 at Marty's Village Inn, 207 Wisconsin 11.

Those who are 16 years of age will need parental consent. First-time donors will need two forms of identification. To make an appointment, call (800) 733-2767. Those who want to donate food for the canteen can contact Connie Meier at (608) 214-1183.

Every two seconds someone in America needs blood and more then 38,000 pints of blood are needed in the U.S. every day. Only 38 percent of the population is eligible to donate and just a fraction of those eligible - about 8 percent - actually donate blood.
