Cleveland, TN – A community blood drive is set to take place in Cleveland as the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office partners with Blood Assurance to help boost the local blood supply and encourage residents to donate.
According to the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office, the blood drive is scheduled for Monday, April 6 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at 2290 Blythe Avenue SE in Cleveland. Officials say the event is open to both first-time and returning donors, with walk-ins welcome throughout the afternoon.
Organizers say every donation can make a significant impact, helping support hospitals and emergency services across the region. The effort comes as blood centers often face ongoing shortages, particularly during seasonal transitions and periods of increased medical demand.
Participants are encouraged to schedule an appointment in advance through Blood Assurance, though officials emphasized that community members can still attend without prior registration. A QR code has been made available through promotional materials to streamline the sign-up process.
In addition to helping save lives, donors will also have the chance to receive incentives. Event organizers noted that those who donate between April 1 and April 15 will be entered into a drawing to win gift cards, with multiple winners selected across participating communities.
Local officials are urging residents to spread the word and consider taking part, highlighting the importance of community involvement in maintaining a stable blood supply.
The Bradley County Sheriff’s Office said the event reflects a broader commitment to community engagement and public health support across Cleveland and surrounding areas.
