Fort Mill, SC – In response to the widespread devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina, the local community is coming together to support recovery efforts through a critical blood drive. On Wednesday, October 2, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Planet Fitness in Fort Mill will host the event in partnership with One Blood and local first responders.
