Lifestream will be conducting two community blood drives locally this week. Donations will be taken on Tuesday, July 10, in Twentynine Palms at the Senior Center, 6539 Adobe Road, from 9 to 1. In Yucca Valley, the date and time are Wednesday the 11 from 2 to 6 p.m., and the place is the Von’s parking lot. Healthy individuals at least 15 years old may donate blood. All prospective donors should be free of infections or illness, weigh at least 110 pound, and not be at risk for AIDS or hepatitis. Donors receive a free mini-physical as part of the donation process. Donating blood takes about an hour, yet gives someone a lifetime. Form more information, call 800-777-8844.
