The next Johns Hopkins blood drive will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 2 and 3, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Turner Concourse on the East Baltimore campus.

The need for blood is constant throughout the year, but the supply is especially low during the holidays. Help by donating a pint of blood. During this holiday season, donors may fill out gift cards that will be attached to stuffed bears and given to Children's Center patients.

For an appointment, call 410-614-0913, or contact the blood donor recruiter in your department.

For more information, call Dianne Haley at 410-955-4222.
