On Dec. 27–28, the Hays County Sheriff's Office partnered with the Blood and Tissue Center of Central Texas to host blood drives in Hays County.
The drives were aimed at increasing the amount of donated blood in time for the New Year's holiday.
According to the sheriff's office, during the two-day period, the effort brought in 73 donors; for every one donor, two lives can be saved.
All donated blood from the blood drives went to hospitals that serve the citizens of Hays County, including Central Texas Medical Center, Seton Medical Center Hays, St. David's Hospital, Brackenridge Hospital and Dell Children's Hospital.
