Hello! With the outbreak of COVID-19 many of our local blood drives are in need of volunteers to work registration, take temperatures and manage canteen.
BLOOD DRIVES ARE ESSENTIAL TO PUBLIC HEALTH
VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED FOR THE FOLLOWING:
- Blood Donors will receive 2 volunteer hours. Please go to www.redcrossblood.org to make an appointment - appointments are required through redcrossblood.org)
To ensure safety we are taking the following measures at every blood drive:
- Any person entering the blood donation area, donating or now, MUST have their temperature taken. If your temperature is above 99.5, you will not be allowed in the blood drive.
- We ask ALL DONORS to please NOT bring anyone with you to the blood drive to ensure we do not have too many people in one place at one time.
- Everyone at the blood drive are required to wear masks.
- We are doing our best to keep everyone waiting at a safe distance from each other.
- Our staff are wiping all of our equipment down with commercial-grade sanitizing wipes after every use.
- If a blood drive is fully booked with appointments, we will NOT be accepting walk-ins. However, we encourage you to stop in and see.
***Also, if you are feeling well enough to donate blood, please make an appointment and please do a rapid pass the day of the drive to make your experience quicker.***
