Blood drive

RUMFORD – Blood donors in the Rumford area can contribute to their community on Tuesday, Oct. 12, when the American Red Cross bloodmobile is at the American Legion Hall, 184 Congress St. Donor hours will be from noon to 5 p.m., and all blood types are needed.

Thomas Miller, donor recruitment representative, said, “The need for blood donors is greater than ever before. What were once seasonal blood shortages are now chronically low inventories, with supplies only barely ahead of demand.”
