Starting Monday the Houchin Community Blood Bank is offering an incentive event the entire week to help local patients struggling with COVID-19. This event is largely targeted toward anyone who has recovered from the virus.

Donors will receive a $50 gift card to a local restaurant.

Those wishing to donate must meet a few requirements before donating. Those requirements include the following:

• You must have tested positive for COVID-19 and or for the antibody test.
• You must be completely symptom-free for 14 consecutive days.
• You must meet regular blood donation requirements.

Anyone who is interested should call 616-2575. You can also learn more online.
