Blood drive to honor disaster victims
Placeholder Image
The Hall County Sheriff’s Office is teaming up with the North Georgia Detention Center and the American Red Cross to host a blood drive to honor victims of natural disasters both close to home and hundreds of miles away. The drive, community service officer Deputy Chad Mann said, is to honor those who lost their homes in the recent South Hall flooding, and the victims of the Moore, Okla., tornado. Melissa Barton, South Region business development manager for the American Red Cross, specified that the blood isn’t sent to Oklahoma, but serves a critical need.
