Amidst the holiday season, and the COVID-19 pandemic, The Blood Connection (TBC), the local, non-profit, community blood center, has a special request for a different kind of gift this year. As the sole provider for over 80 hospitals in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, TBC is urging all eligible blood donors who are healthy and well for their immediate gift of a blood donation to their local community. The Blood Connection will kick-off the annual Holiday Blood Drive on Friday, Dec. 18. The holiday blood drive will run through Dec. 24. Donors will receive a $20 gift card and a special edition ‘Tis the Season long sleeved t-shirt as a thank you while supplies last.
