FARMINGTON — A blood drive has been scheduled from 1 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 25, at Franklin Memorial Hospital.

The American Red Cross will offer blood donors the opportunity to “Warm A Heart, Warm Your Home.” Each presenting donor will be eligible for a chance to win $250 toward the cost of heating his or her home.

From December to March, all presenting blood donors across Maine will have the opportunity to enter to win the drawing. A winner will be drawn each month. Whether the fuel source is home heating oil, natural gas or electricity, the American Red Cross will contact the winner’s utility company and pay for an upcoming heating bill.

Potential donors must be at least 17 years old, weigh 110 pounds or more and be in good health. There is no upper age limit and most medications and medical conditions do not prohibit someone from donating blood through the Red Cross. A positive identification is required.

To make an appointment, call the American Red Cross at 1-800-GIVE-LIFE.
