GREENVILLE – Greenville Grace Church will host a community blood drive from 3 to 7 p.m. July 30 at 4805 State Route 49, Greenville.

Community Blood Center is honoring donors with the new “We Are the Brave – We Are Blood Donors” T-shirt, a gift to everyone who registers to donate. Donors can schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or call 1-800-388-GIVE.

Everyone who registers to donate with CBC from July 23 through Sept. 1 will receive the “We Are the Brave” T-shirt. Summer donors also have a chance to win a $5,000 home improvement gift card.

The home make-over gift card is the grand prize in the “Build a Better Blood Supply Summer Blood Drive” campaign. Everyone who registers to donate May 29 through Sept. 1 automatically is entered in the drawing. Donors must be age 18 by Sept. 1 to win. Eligible donors can enter a second time when they register for a second donation during the blood drive period. Official rules are available at www.givingblood.org.
