Mississippi Blood Services hosting campus blood drive Tuesday at MSU
Members of the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵcampus community are encouraged to roll up their sleeves and help save lives by participating in an upcoming blood drive.Â
Date: Tuesday, Sept. 15Â Â
Time: Noon-5 p.m. Â Â
Location: The Mississippi Blood Services Donor Coach will be set up in the soccer field parking lot next to the Hunter Henry Center.  Â
***All successful donations will receive a free COVID-19 Antibody Test.*** Â Â
The need for blood donors is always critical, but the need significantly increases during times of public health crises. According to Mississippi Blood Services, less than 4 percent of Mississippians donate blood on a regular basis. The organization, which supplies more than 200 units of much-needed blood products daily to hospitals across the state, is currently experiencing a severe shortage.  Â
²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ is responding to this rising concern by asking faculty, staff and students to be heroes and give at the upcoming blood drive. Together, the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵcommunity can help boost the state's current supply and ensure patients in need have access to adequate treatment.
Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are encouraged.

Please spread the word and encourage fellow Bulldogs to join in this life-saving effort. Â
