Were you just a tad too busy to give some blood before the new year? How about kicking the new year off with a blood donation during the COPS (Concerns if Police Survivors) blood drive this Wednesday. Marshalltown Officer Andrew Cole says Wednesday is also Officer Appreciation Day. He adds you not only can help save some lives, you’ll get a free t-shirt as well.,

The COPS Blood Drive will go from 8am to 5:30 Wednesday at the Life Serve Blood Center location on South Center Street near the Verizon retailer.
