If you missed your chance last Thursday to be a hero by donating at the APV Big Red Bus Blood Drive, you have a second chance. The Big Red Bus is coming back to Poinciana. The Big Red Bus will be at the Poinciana Community Center, 397 Marigold Ave. on Thursday, June 18, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Blood Drive last Thursday was a big success. There were 22 registrants and 17 units collected. With each donation, donors receive a COVID-19 antibody testing.
The Big Red Bus is by appointment only. To book your spot go online to https://www.oneblood.org/donate-now/donation-centers-list-select-time.stml?driveID=955558.
