A Community Blood Drive will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 17 at Tobey Hospital from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Southcoast is offering a complimentary pass to any of YMCA Southcoast's facilities for those who give blood.

YMCA Southcoast will also waive the joiner fee for any donor interested in a new membership at any of their facilities, including the Dartmouth YMCA, the Fall River YMCA, the Gleason Family YMCA in Wareham, the Mattapoisett YMCA, and the New Bedford YMCA (up to a savings of $90).

Proper identification is required to donate.
