Pound for a pint

LEWISTON — The Dunkin’ Donuts at 583 Lisbon St. will host an American Red Cross blood drive Wednesday, Jan. 11, from noon to 5 p.m. to help increase the blood supply and raise awareness about the need for blood.

During the month of January, all presenting blood donors in Maine will receive a coupon from Dunkin’ Donuts for a free pound of coffee.

Blood is an essential component for patient care in area hospitals, and the only source of blood is a healthy, volunteer blood donor. About every two seconds someone in America needs blood, and one donation can help save up to three lives.

All current and new donors are strongly urged to call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to schedule an appointment.
