YMCA of Southern West Virginia to host blood drive on December 30

Beckley, WV (WOAY)- The YMCA and Red Cross are helping address the constant need for blood donations. 

The YMCA of Southern West Virginia will host a blood drive on Monday, December 30 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.  

Amid severe weather events and an emergency blood shortage, the Red Cross has been attempting to recover its national blood inventory, which decreased by 25% in July. 

To encourage more people to donate, the Red Cross is offering free t-shirts while supplies last to donors who give between now and January 3.
