The American Red Cross plans to conduct a blood drive from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. Aug. 4 in the fellowship hall at First Baptist Church, 505 Community Drive, Seymour.

All blood types are needed, and each donation can help save up to three lives.

Individuals who are 17 in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
