All blood donations are important but a double red cell donation is special because with this technology you can safely give twice as much blood in just one visit.

If you have Type O or Type B blood and donate three or less times a year, and you meet the eligibility criteria, then you have an opportunity to make twice the difference.

Those eligible and interested in a double red blood cell donation will be able to donate at the blood drive.

Call 713-5040 for an appointment. Refreshments will be served.
