Blood Drive
January 28, 2005
CARROLLTON, GA - The American Red Cross is sponsoring a blood drive at the University of West Georgia on Monday, Jan. 31, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m at the University Community Center in Rooms 206 and 207A through 207D. This blood drive is part of an international effort to provide specialized relief and financial assistance to Asia and African countries suffering the devastation from last month’s tsunami.
The American Red Cross has sent $30 million in aid to the affected areas, including $25 million for relief food supplies and $5 million non-food relief items, such as hygiene kits and tents for misplaced families. For more information on what the American Red Cross Metropolitan Atlanta Chapter is doing to help or to make a donation, please visit www.redcrossatlanta.org.
