The American Red Cross will be holding a blood drive in La Mesa on Tuesday, May 14, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

It will be held in the Farmers Market parking lot, outside of the La Mesa Civic Center and police department.

It is important to remember that blood is needed on the shelves before the emergency, not just after. Additionally, many people think that if they take medications, that they will not be eligible. It is alright to donate while on most medications.
