The Brick Branch of the Ocean County Library will sponsor a blood drive in partnership with the American Red Cross on Wednesday, June 13, 2018, from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The blood drive will take place on Wednesday, June 13, 2018 from 2 pm – 7 pm in the meeting room of the Brick Library, 301 Chambers Bridge Road, Brick. Though walk-ins are welcome, library officials say it is best to make an appointment by calling 1-800-733-2767 (1-800-RED CROSS), signing up online at www.redcrossblood.org, or calling the library: 732 477-4513, #4 on menu.

According to the Red Cross, an estimated 38 percent of Americans are eligible to give blood, but of those, less than 10 percent actually donate each year.
