Town Center at Cobb to host blood drive in partnership with American Red Cr

Town Center at Cobb and the American Red Cross are joining forces to host a community blood drive on Saturday, Sept. 3 through Monday, Sept. 5. Donations are urgently needed as supply is critical at this time.

Why get involved? Here are some quick facts, courtesy of the American Red Cross:

• Someone needs blood every two seconds in the U.S.
• One donation can help save more than one life.
• Approximately 29,000 units of red blood cells are needed in the U.S. every day.
• Approximately 37 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate – yet less than 10 percent actually do.
• The American Red Cross supplies approximately 40 percent of the nation's blood supply.
