Those details.
Covid-19 has caused a blood shortage here in the tristate and the west side nut club is teaming up with the american red cross to do their part.
The county was willing to let us use this space.
We were trying to find a west side location to ensure that we're meeting donors where they're at.
We need donors right now, especially new ones and diverse donors so we wanted to give them options and this was just a great location.
We're really thankful that we are able to use it.
Once they started the elective surgeries back we've seen an increase in need for blood.
So right now we're in an urgent appeal to try to protect our blood supply.
You can't stock pile blood and so it's one of those things where we need that constant supply especially for those folks that have chronic illnesses that require a constant transfusion of blood products.
When you come to a blood drive you'll see everyone is wearing a mask.
You'll see hand sanitizers out.
You'll see increased sanitization using our hospital grade sanitizers, wiping down the chairs even once people get up.
The american red cross has three upcoming blood drives scheduled.
June 25th, june 29th, and july 6th.
