The American Red Cross will conduct a blood drive at the Lowe’s Home Improvement Store in Fayetteville Wednesday, Jan. 9 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The drive comes as officials cite the need for more blood due to donation drop-offs experienced during the holidays. Because of the holidays, some blood drives are cancelled and some donors are unable to give because they are too busy.

Other upcoming blood drives include:

‰ Friday, Jan. 4 from 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Gathering Place recreation center at 203 McIntosh Trail in Peachtree City;

Sunday, Jan. 13 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Fayetteville First United Methodist Church at 170 East Lanier Avenue (Ga. Highway 54);

Tuesday, Jan. 15 from 2-7 p.m. at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Peachtree City at 700 Ardenlee Parkway;

Saturday, Jan. 19 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church in Fayetteville at 152 Antioch Road.
