Pickens County Library System issued the following announcement on August 16.
The Blood Connection in Pickens County has an urgent need for blood donations. The ongoing pandemic and low donor turnout has left the blood supply in an unstable position. Community donors are needed to replenish the blood supply as soon as possible to ensure hospital needs are uninterrupted. It’s important to note that one donation can save up to three lives. REMINDER: Donors who have received the COVID-19 vaccine (1st or 2nd shot) CAN donate blood. Donors will receive a $20 eGift card as a thank you for saving lives. The Bloodmobile will be at the Easley Library on August 19th from 4pm - 6:30pm. Use the link below to sign up or just come by during those hours.
