GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Versiti Blood Center of Michigan is offering a free scoop of ice cream to anyone who gets their blood type tested on Valentine's Day.
The event is at Love's Ice Cream & Chocolate from 10 a.m until 1 p.m.
The blood typing process only takes 15 minutes and results are ready almost immediately.
There are eight basic blood types; but each type has subgroups. These subgroups can be extremely uncommon and rare. Versiti Blood Center of Michigan provides blood to patients who have a rare type and have to rely on donations to receive life-saving treatment.
Versiti Blood Center is headquartered in Grand Rapids and has been collecting and providing blood to nearly 70 Michigan hospitals.
