The American Red Cross Bloodmobile made a visit to Gainesville on Friday and received a strong response from local residents. The blood drive, organized by the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, North Georgia Detention Center and American Red Cross, was held in honor of victims of the recent Oklahoma tornado and South Hall County storms. All donations were used to benefit the Northeast Georgia Chapter of the American Red Cross.
