‘Give blood, give life’
Westbrook Knights of Columbus will host a Red Cross Blood Drive from noon-6 p.m. Wednesday, April 27, at St. Hyacinth’s Church Hall (St. Anthony Parish) on Brown Street.
“This drive will have expanded hours and staff as we are combining this drive with the Westbrook Community Drive, which usually takes place at the community center,” Russ Champagne, Knights spokesman, said in an announcement.
Blood donations are critically important this spring, he said.
