A Heartfelt Thank You to the Retired Teachers Association of Cherokee County

The members of Centre Fire Department would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Retired Teachers Association of Cherokee County for the thoughtful snacks and kind card you recently left for us.

Your generosity was greatly appreciated, but even more meaningful was the encouragement behind it. While we are honored by your gesture of appreciation, we believe the thanks truly belong to you. Through your years of service in the classroom, you helped educate, inspire, and guide generations of Cherokee County residents. The positive impact of your work continues to be felt throughout our community every day.

Thank you for your dedication to our children, your commitment to education, and your continued support of those who serve our community. Acts of kindness like yours remind us of the strong community we are fortunate to protect and serve.

We are grateful for your thoughtfulness and proud to serve alongside citizens who have given so much to Cherokee County.

With sincere appreciation,
Centre Fire Department 🚒❤️

Centre Fire & Rescue is encouraging residents to step up and help save lives by donating blood through Blood Assurance programs and an upcoming community blood drive.

Centre Fire & Rescue will host a community blood drive on Monday, May 25th beginning at 10:00 a.m. at the fire station located on Main Street. Community members are encouraged to donate and help ensure lifesaving blood products remain available for local hospitals and emergency patients.

Every blood donation has the potential to help trauma victims, cancer patients, surgical patients, and others facing life-threatening medical emergencies. Blood supplies remain critically important year-round, and local donors play a direct role in ensuring lifesaving blood products are available when needed most.

Blood Assurance is also offering several donor incentive programs throughout 2026:

• The “HerO” program allows Type O donors to earn up to $150 in gift cards by committing to donate throughout the year.

• The “Absolutely Needed” AB Plasma donor program offers eligible donors the opportunity to earn up to $580 annually through quarterly donation rewards.

• The “Heart of Gold” platelet donor program rewards platelet donors who donate four times each quarter, with additional gift card incentives available during select quarters.

Centre Fire & Rescue officials encourage citizens, civic groups, churches, businesses, and community organizations to support local blood drives and help recruit additional donors.

“Hosting or participating in a blood drive is one of the most meaningful ways to support your community,” Blood Assurance states in its coordinator materials. “Your efforts make a tremendous impact and help save lives.”

Community members are encouraged to schedule appointments, invite family and friends to donate, and share blood drive information through social media and local organizations.

For more information about the May 25th blood drive or donor eligibility, contact Centre Fire & Rescue or visit Blood Assurance online to schedule an appointment.
