Brownsville, Texas—United Blood Services of Brownsville will be having several community blood drives this week, and this year the organization is adding Starbucks to its list of locations.
“We’re going to give (Starbucks) a shot. They’re doing great here,” said Angel Sandoval, donor recruitment manager at UBS.
Both Brownsville locations will give out a free beverage, T-shirt, movie pass and cholesterol test to volunteer donors.
“We do whatever we can to get the community to come out and help,” Sandoval said about the giveaways.
According to UBS, all donors must be 17 or older, weigh at least 110 pounds, not have donated blood in the past eight weeks, and not be on antibiotics.
You may not donate if you have ever used a needle to take drugs, if you had hepatitis after age 11 or if you tested positive for AIDS or HIV.
