Red Cross Blood Drive
February 5, 2021, 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in.
Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood. org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.
As a thank-you for helping ensure a stable blood supply, those who come to give this February will receive a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card via email, courtesy of Amazon. (Additional information and details are available at RedCrossBlood.org/Together.)
To make an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS (800-733- 2767) or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device.
