By this time, we have had a successful November Blood Drive with OneBlood. Our next drive will be in coordination with the La Casa Health Fair on Friday, January 23. Look for the Big Red Bus in the Rec Hall parking lot, and come donate blood to help others in our area. Prior to the event, check the bulletin boards for times when the bus will be here.
Blood is needed year round, so keep on giving. Blood can be donated every 56 days (112 days if you donate double red cells). Our blood drives are designed so you don’t have to worry about the last time you donated – we schedule the bus every two months to meet the 56 day requirement.
Haven’t donated in a while? Talk to the blood specialists on the bus, you may not have any restrictions to continue donating. Donation requirements change regularly, so don’t think you are ineligible until you check.
