The Original Farmers Market and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center are partnering for a two-day community blood drive on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 4 and 5, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the market, 6333 W. Third St.

The market has long supported blood drives. Donors will enjoy a free pickle from Kaylin & Hobbs and will be entered in a drawing for $75 in Original Farmers Market gift certificates.

Donors will receive free testing for COVID-19 antibodies and can learn their individual blood type. The Cedars-Sinai Bloodmobile will be in the parking lot near the Farmers Market Clock Tower, and free validated self-parking is available. Donors must bring identification and wear masks.

Limited spaces are available and advance appointments are recommended. For information, call Dave Keys, with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, at (310)717-5996, or email keysd@cshs.org.
