One lucky blood donor could win a $500 shopping spree at Ashley Furniture Home Store for taking part in the Hattiesburg store’s community blood drive from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

Another $100 shopping spree will be awarded and all participants will receive a free T-shirt and a Chick-fil-A coupon.


United Blood Services also offers free cholesterol testing when people give blood.

Blood donors must be 17 years or older and in good health. Donors are asked to bring photo identification and donor card. First-time donors receive a donor card with their blood type in the mail shortly after their first donation.

People who wish to donate at the blood drive may schedule an appointment by calling (800) 880-0743 or by logging on to www.bloodhero.com (use sponsor code, ashleyhburg).
