MOOSIC — Geisinger Blood Center has pledged a $5 donation to Griffin Pond Animal Shelter for every unit of blood collected at a blood drive Dec. 13 at the Shoppes at Montage.
The blood center’s mobile crew plans to set up a donation center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the former Coldwater Creek, between Chico’s and J.Crew.
The blood drive will help keep supplies full at local Geisinger hospitals for those who need transfusions during surgery and chemotherapy.
The animal shelter, in South Abington Twp., is Lackawanna County’s only shelter and funded entirely by private donations.
