Thank you all for your donation, We encourage each of you to donate and maybe take a friend with you to donate as well!! Just a few helpful hints to help you along the way….
1. If you sign up, show up (unless you are not feeling well). Many people who have appointments are not showing up as less and less people leave their homes.
2. The first question you will be asked is “Are you well and feeling healthy today?”
3. Drink plenty of water the day before and day of to ensure a successful donation. Coffee, tea and soda don’t count as water.
4. Eat something healthy before you donation.
5. Bring your driver’s license.
6. Wear a mask and gloves. If you don’t have gloves ask the Red Cross for a pair and wear them until you leave the center. They do not have masks to share. (the employees only received masks last week and they are not medical masks. They are using the landscaping/pollen type masks.
7. The Athens donor center is NOT accepting walk ins at this time.
Challenge your friends (or anyone for that matter) to a friendly competition! Who will win the battle to do the most social good for your community?
Put your virtual blood drive campaign against one or even multiple other campaigns to see who can recruit more blood donors for the American Red Cross.
