The Blood Drive hosted by the Rotary Club of Minnesota Veterans is going to be held as planned.  There is now an extreme shortage of blood and Veterans will always step forward to make a sacrifice.  Thank you to all who have stepped forward to donate blood.  Please remember to hydrate now and eat a healthy meal before coming to donate.

 

The Red Cross has added additional staff and appointments, but those have already been filled.  We do expect that there will be some cancellations so check regularly if there are any appointments that have opened.  There may also be no-shows. The Blood Drive does allow for some walk-ins, however, there could be long wait times. Text Jeff Staads, event coordinator, on Thursday afternoon to see how quickly we are moving donors through: 715-559-1030

 

Join us for our first hosted service event in honor of Veterans.

 

On Thursday March 26, stop by St. Peter's - Edina from 1pm-7pm to donate an hour of your time and blood.
