Blood Drive for Red Cross of Central SC Starts March 11, Shred Day for Donations March 13

Shred360 is teaming up with the Red Cross of Columbia to encourage much-needed blood donations and raise awareness of the area’s ongoing blood shortages. Donors can “credit” Shred360 when giving blood any time from March 11 to March 16 at the Bull Street Red Cross facility. Donors must schedule an appointment to give blood and can contact:

Shred360 is providing a free shredding event Wednesday, March 13 from
12 – 4pm in order to promote the blood drive. Participants can bring up to five bags or boxes of goods to be shredded – appointments will be needed in order to give blood, so please make appropriate arrangements.
