Sign-ups start today and run until Oct. 24 for the fall blood drive.
Each year, HOSA does two blood drives, one in the fall and one in the spring. This blood drive gives people the options to donate blood nd help people in need. Just one blood donation can save three lives.
If you are interested in donating blood, there are a few requirements:
- Be at least 16 years old
- Weigh at least 120 pounds
- If under the age of eighteen, have parental permission

HOSA will be set up at lunches for anyone who is interested in donating.
