11/29/13 - As shoppers make their way from store to store on this Black Friday trying to find deals on that perfect gift, the American Red Cross hopes they’ll take a few minutes to give the Gift of Life. The American Red Cross Great Lakes Blood Services Region is holding two Black Friday blood drives in Livingston County. The first is from 10:30am to 4:15pm at the Brighton District Library, while the second will be held from 11am to 4:45pm at The Well Church at 7191 Grand River in Genoa Township. Appointments are preferred, but walk-in donors are welcome, space permitting. Donors will also receive a Red Cross t-shirt while supplies last. Anyone 16 and older can donate as long as he or she is in good health and weighs at least 110 pounds. High school students must meet different height-and-weight requirements.
