For members of the Avon Volunteer Fire Department (AVFD), saving lives comes with the territory and opportunities to help people arise every day. Luckily, they aren’t the only people who can save lives – by donating a pint of blood to the American Red Cross, just about anyone can help.

On Friday, April 14, 2017, from 11:00 a.m.-4:45 p.m., the AVFD will hold a blood drive at its Company 1 fire station located at 25 Darling Drive.

Make an appointment online at www.RedCrossBlood.org or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (733-2767).
