As we continue to navigate this pandemic, blood donations remain essential to the health of our communities. That's why we're hosting a blood drive in Fellowship Hall Tuesday, February 9 from 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

We want to emphasize that each blood drive and donation center follows the highest standards of safety and infection control, including but not limited to:
  • Spacing appointments to minimize contact between blood drive participants
  • Pre-screening drive attendees to assess health markers prior to blood drive entry
  • Requiring face masks for all drive attendees
  • Wearing and changing gloves frequently
  • Spacing donors six feet apart throughout the drive
  • Enhanced cleaning practices throughout the blood drive

All blood donations collected will be tested for COVID-19 antibodies. If a blood donation tests positive for COVID-19 antibodies, plasma from that donation may now help coronavirus patients in need of convalescent plasma transfusions.

Blog comments will be sent to the moderator
