American Legion Post 16 in Shelton to host Red Cross blood drive


SHELTON - American Legion Post 16 will host an American Red Cross blood drive from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Feb. 17 at the Post home, 295 Old Bridgeport Ave.
We will post a link to sign-up through the American Red Cross.
People have held blood drives and given blood since community service became an American value. It's only natural that The American Legion - with community service as one of its pillars - be heavily involved in blood donation efforts.
The American Legion Blood Donor Program has existed officially since 1942 to help that cause.

Each year - especially since 9/11 - Legionnaires have donated in spades, and departments have coordinated efforts at the post level.
The Blood Donor Program honors those departments that best participate in blood-donation efforts, recognizing departments in two areas: for post participation and individual Legionnaire participation.
Post participation awards are given to departments with the highest number of participating posts. Individual participation awards are given to departments with the highest percentage of individuals giving blood to the program. Departments are separated into five categories (see below), according to membership size, and honored.
Legionnaires participate by giving blood and reporting it to their posts, which mark the donation on their annual Consolidated Posts Reports. Similarly, posts that host blood drives mark their participation on their Consolidated Post Reports, listing number of drives held and total pints donated (for Legionnaires and non-Legionnaires).
Legionnaires can give blood by making an appointment for a donation at The American Red Cross' website.

Great Hill Hose Company in Seymour to hold blood drive Saturday



SEYMOUR - As First Responders, we see the need for blood more than most people do. 
The Great Hill Hose Company has been hosting blood drives for over 40 years, yet with each year, less and less blood is donated.
So let’s change that! This Saturday we are hosting our first “Battle of the Badges” Blood Drive. 
We’re calling upon all our local emergency service agencies across the Valley. The organization with the most donators will later receive a celebratory plaque, along with T-Shirts and other giveaway prizes that will be given out the day of!
Simply make an appointment that day to donate blood, mention the name of the emergency organization you are with, and it will be counted in the tally!
Help us save lives in more ways than one!
