Blood Drive

Give Thanks & Give Blood on Friday December 8th at Franconia, VA In this season of giving thanks, if possible, please signup to donate blood. If you can't donate, please share this opportunity with family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Everyone is welcome. POWER RED blood donations are needed. This donation requires a little more time but gives a lot more. Power Red is similar to a whole blood donation, except a special machine is used to allow you to safely donate two units of red blood cells during one donation while returning your plasma and platelets to you. Maximize your impact and schedule a Power Red donation today! This blood drive location is at Franconia Road & S. Van Dorn Street across from Edison High School. APPOINTMENT SIGNUPS to DONATE have BEGUN. Signup: https://www.redcrossblood.org/. Somebody needing blood will be thankful for your donation. Date: Friday, December 8, 2023 Time: 10:00 am to 3:30 pm Location: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Mount Vernon Stake Center Meetinghouse in Franconia (corner of Franconia Road & S. Van Dorn Street, across from Edison H.S.), 6219 Villa Street, Alexandria VA 22310 Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. It is essential for surgeries, cancer treatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. Whether a patient receives whole blood, red cells, platelets or plasma, this lifesaving care starts with one person making a generous donation.
