The Time To Care Blood Give-In is Tuesday, August 28th from 8 am to 8 pm at First Baptist Church of Augusta on Walton Way Extension.

Why donate blood? This year's theme answers that question: “For Family, Friends, and Community.”

We’re coming up on the Labor Day Weekend, which can often be a time when blood centers find themselves in critical need of blood supplies for accident victims.

Also, we have several major hospitals in this area, including a trauma center and a regional burn center, which all rely on blood donations.

Come out, roll up your sleeve, and make a difference! One blood donation can save three lives.

News 12 would like to thank our Time to Care Partners: Ashley Furniture, Taylor Toyota, Aiken Regional Medical Centers and Subway.
