STOCKBRIDGE — As part of an effort to boost blood supplies in advance of the holiday season, Stockbridge City Council member Yolanda Barber is hosting a community blood drive on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ted Strickland Community Center at 130 Martin Luther King Senior Heritage Trail in Stockbridge.
The U.S. has seen blood supply shortages since the emergence of COVID-19. Barber said she is hosting the blood drive to advocate for the need for an adequate blood supply to support all community members. Barber said she believes that an inadequate blood supply could impact the health care infrastructure.
