Redeemer Blood Drive
Approximately 95% of the population will need blood during their lifetime.
One pint of blood can help three to four people.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
To give blood for transfusion to another person, you must be healthy, be at least 17 years old or 16 years old if allowed by state law, weigh at least 110 pounds, and not have donated blood in the last 8 weeks (56 days) or a donation of double red cells in the last 16 weeks (112 days). "Healthy" means that you feel well and can perform normal activities. If you have a chronic condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure, "healthy" also means that you are being treated and the condition is under control.
Our next Red Cross Blood Drive is Monday, May 12th from 1 - 7:00 p.m. Call the office to make your reservation
at 410-435-7333.
