The City of Dover will sponsor a community blood drive on Thursday, Aug. 4, 2011, from 12-5 p.m. The drive will be held at the Dover Ice Arena, 149 Portland Ave.
The blood drive is organized by the American Red Cross. Appointments are recommended and can be scheduled by calling 1-800-733-2767. Walk-ins are welcome. A blood donor card or valid picture ID is required to donate blood.
City of Dover Executive Assistant Colleen Bessette said the City is looking for a strong turnout at the drive, including City employees. Bessette said the success of the City’s annual food drive prompted her to arrange the blood drive.
“I thought a blood drive would be another great way for city employees to show our community support,” Bessette said.
The blood drive is open to all.
