Freeman Business Center holding emergency blood drive today.

The Freeman Business Center will be having an emergency blood drive starting this morning at 9 am and will last until 3 pm.

Freeman reminds blood donors that participated during the January 19 blood drive that they will not be eligible for this one.

One person who gives a pint of blood can save as many as three lives.

All blood types are in short supply, but there is a critical shortage of O-negative.

To donate, you must meet the requirement of being 17 or older, weigh at least 110 pounds, and not have given blood in the past eight weeks.

To schedule an appointment, call 417-227-5006
