The last blood drive of the year is scheduled for Nov. 21 and 22. Heintz encourages residents to invite friends and neighbors to join the effort and help fill even more chairs at the upcoming event.
“As always, I am open to ideas on how to spread awareness of our blood drives throughout our community and local businesses,” Heintz said.
