Ahead of its annual Good Friday blood drive, Kenney Fire officials are touting the benefits of giving blood.

Kerry Coles with Kenney Fire says the need for blood in America is great right now and it provides the giver a great psychological boost.

According to Coles, if you have high iron content in your blood, it's recommended you get your blood drawn.

Coles indicates you can also get your blood tested for COVID antibodies. 

The blood drive at the Kenney Fire Department is this Friday from noon to 6 pm. You can get signed for any remaining times by visiting redcrossblood.org and walk-ins will be welcome. 

Masks will be required to be worn for this event and organizers encourage those with an appointment to fill out the Red Cross RapidPass before arriving to make your time go quicker.
