PENDLETON — The Pendleton Lions Club is partnering with Pendleton VFW Let ‘Er Buck Post No. 922 and the American Red Cross to host a blood drive.

With low blood supplies, people are encouraged to consider donating during upcoming blood drives in Pendleton.

• Monday, Aug. 9, from noon to 6 p.m. at CHI St. Anthony Hospital, 2801 St. Anthony Way.

• Tuesday, Aug. 17, from 12:30-5:30 p.m. at the VFW Hall, 1221 S.E. Court Place.

• Tuesday, Aug. 31, from noon to 5:30 at the Pendleton Convention Center, 1601 Westgate.

The Red Cross recently reported it has been distributing about 12% more blood products to hospitals across the United States compared to this time last year. To meet hospital demands and to end the severe shortage, the Red Cross has been giving incentives for people to donate.

To thank donors who help ensure a strong blood supply, all who come to give blood in August will receive a free four-month subscription offer to Apple Music by email (new subscribers only).
