Gould Academy will host a community blood drive with the American Red Cross on Friday, Nov. 6, from 12 until 5 p.m. in the school’s Bingham Gymnasium.

Donors of all blood types are needed, especially those with Types O negative, B negative, and A negative. According to the Red Cross, Type O negative is the universal blood type that can be safely transfused to anyone and is often used to treat trauma patients.
