The Laredo Chamber of Commerce is asking for the community to roll up their sleeves and take a needle for blood donations the following week.<\/p>\n
This event, through its Health Services Committee and in partnership with South Texas Blood & Tissue, is set to host its second annual Community Blood Drive. The drive will be held July 22, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Laredo Chamber of Commerce Parking Lot, located at 5702 McPherson Rd.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis community initiative helps support local hospitals and ensures a stable blood supply for patients in need. Every donation has the power to make a lifesaving difference,\u201d the Chamber said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All donors will also receive a $20\u00a0e-gift card as a courtesy from South Texas Blood & Tissue, alongside a goodie bag with treats while supplies last.<\/p>\n
All donors are to be well-hydrated and to have had a full meal before donating. A donor questionnaire is also available online.<\/p>\n
For donor eligibility questions, please contact the South Texas Blood & Tissue Donor Eligibility Department at (210) 731-5555,\u00a0ext. 2243.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Laredo Chamber of Commerce is asking for the community to roll up their sleeves and take a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":378699,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-378698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378698\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
