The City of Highland Park will host a Blood Drive May 25 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in partnership with LifeSource. The drive will be located at the City’s Fire Department at 1130 Central Avenue, Station #33, and all participating donors will receive a commemorative T-shirt and are invited to a barbecue immediately following any donation. Donors should expect the entire process to last approximately one hour, however the actual blood donation should last no longer than 10 minutes. As a part of the process, donors will be given a questionnaire, and then a short physical by LifeSource personnel to test hemoglobin (iron) levels, blood pressure, temperature and pulse. Refreshments will be provided immediately following all blood donations. In order to donate blood, participants will need to show proof of identification. Donors must be over the age of 17 (although 16-year-olds may donate with parental consent) and must be a minimum of 110 pounds. Appointments are recommended,
