Bloodmobile coming to Silver Lake Jan. 14
The Red Cross will have a blood drive at the Silver Lake American Legion on Wednesday, Jan. 14, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Volunteers will be calling donors to set up appointments. Anyone who has not been contacted is asked to call Margaret at 320-327-2249.
Donating blood is one of the simplest things you can do to help save a patient’s life. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients.
A donor’s card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification, are needed at check-in.
Individuals who are 17 years of age and older (16 with parental permission), 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 or younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
Blood donors are American Red Cross heroes. They don’t wear capes or special suits. Their badge of honor is the band aid that shows they gave the gift of life. Be a hometown hero and answer the call of patients in need by donating blood.
