ELLISVILLE – Jones College is hosting a community-wide blood drive on Tuesday, June 15, in the Student Union, behind the A.B. Howard Gymnasium.

“It is very important that we have as many donors as possible at the upcoming blood drive at Jones College because donations are currently running short. The summer months mean more people are out of town on vacation and not available to donate,” said Jons College Blood Drive Coordinator and EMT instructor, Benji Sessums.
Donors that have been fully vaccinated arriving at Jones College are not required to wear masks, but masks are required of staff. There will be no temperature checks at sign in. Vital signs will be checked as part of the normal screening protocol.
