The blood supply in northwest Louisiana is critically low.  LifeShare has scheduled several blood drives in Red River Parish in the coming weeks, beginning this Sunday.

Your life-saving gift is desperately needed wrapping up the Summer months. LifeShare Blood Center is critically low of all blood types they’re looking at us to help. Please consider giving the Gift of Life.

Here’s the list of upcoming drives:

Sunday, 8/29, 9a to 2p – Social Springs Baptist Church (Dedicated to Aaliyah Alford)

Wednesday, 9/01, 3p to 8p – First Baptist Church – Coushatta (Dedicated to Ronnie Quick)

Saturday, 9/11, 10a to 3p – Fairview Baptist Church – Coushatta (Dedicated to Ronnie Quick)

LifeShare’s Philip Maxfield said, “We anticipate a good number of donors so to make these blood drives run smoothly, please go to the website below to schedule your donation. If you don’t know what time you want to donate choose “Plan on coming.” forms.gle/vyKZwr7FBiC72wQf7

Walk-ins are welcome but it sure does help them to know how many are wanting to donate so they don’t run out of supplies. Donors with appointments will start screening at their registered time slot. Be smart – sign up!

Please eat a solid meal, drink plenty of water (little/no caffeine), and don’t forget to bring your picture ID.
