The Woodbury Lions Club is hosting an American Red Cross Blood Drive on 17 September 2020, at the Lions Memorial Building located at 634 Lehman Street on We Serve Circle.
Red Cross personnel will start processing donations at noon and will continue accepting donors until 6 p.m.
Due to COVID-19, temperatures will be taken at the door and masks are to be worn inside the building. Appointments are not necessary but help tremendously when planning a staff to work and have the necessary material on hand.
The use of Rapid Pass is a big-time saver also.
The ones who wish to donate should go online to: "redcrossblood. org" and search Woodbury Community Blood Drive then put their name in one of the appointment slots. Donors would also need to download the American Red Cross Rapid Pass app onto their phone.
The day of the blood drive those wishing to donate should go to the phone app, answer the questions, and save to their phone.
That information will save ten to twenty minutes of time required. After a person signs in at their appointment time, they should sit and wait for a history station to open. Their blood pressure will be taken, and the finger stick will be used to check their iron level, then off to a bed.
After donating, a snack and some- thing to drink will be provided, donors will then sign out at the Lion's Club history to see if they are eligible for a pin and to also sign up for the next blood drive in November
