The township will host a blood drive in partnership with the American Red Cross on Sunday, Feb. 2, at the senior center on Tanyard Road. Available time slots are from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Individuals can either donate blood or power red, which collects the blood’s red cells but returns a majority of the plasma and platelets to the donor. Advance registration is required on the Red Cross website.
