Trending
NEW ULM -- The Red Cross is continuing to hold a blood drive at the New Ulm Community Center Friday.
The blood drive is a three day event, with participants able to donate blood Wednesday and Thursday. Organizer Ellen Friedrich said Wednesday was a popular day with 108 people donating. She said Thursday was a less popular day, with several afternoon slots still open by mid-day.
For those who would like to donate blood, the Red Cross will be at the Community Center from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friedrich said, unless the weather gets too bad, the show will go on.
"It won’t change unless it gets really really bad," she said.
Friedrich urged those who are able to come and donate, as there is a need for blood across the board.
"If they’re healthy and feel good, please come down and give blood because we need it," she said.
