Blood Drive To Be Held At Larson’s On Jan. 8

Mississippi Blood Services (MBS) will be holding a community blood drive in Water Valley on Monday, January 8, from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. The MBS Donor Coach will be at Larson’s Piggly Wiggly in Water Valley. Donors will receive a T-shirt (while supplies last). Donors can now check their overall cholesterol levels on their MBSConnect account.

As the new year looms before us, please take time to consider the importance of a stable blood supply. The need for blood never sleeps nor takes a vacation. Patients across the state, while battling illnesses or injuries, are relying on the kindness of strangers to ensure the blood they need is available. Please donate blood now in the months ahead to ensure patients have a fighting chance in 2018.

Donating blood is safe, simple and it saves lives. Donors must be at least 16 years old (16-year-olds need signed parental consent, visit our Web site for a copy of the form), weigh at least 110 pounds and have a valid ID.
