7Heroes Continue Blood Drive Efforts In Gaston
Residents donated 1 237 pints of blood in September but long lines turned many away. Gastonia Red Cross says September outpouring was tremendous yet donations have fallen back to normal levels. The Gaston County chapter met 94 percent of its October goal and declined through November and December. Cash gifts of 190 000 designated for the Liberty Fund moved through the Gastonia office. Community donors also contributed groceries and canned food to rescue squads. Dana Haydock can be reached at (704) 869-1817.
