We’ll be holding a blood drive at St. Francis on Sunday January 10th, 2021 in conjunction with Versiti. We’ll hold it in the church parking lot on the Versiti mobile collection unit. Please come out and support our blood drive! Reservations are strongly encouraged. All who donate will receive a Noodles and Company coupon.
Who benefits from blood donation?
At Versiti Blood Center of Illinois, formerly Heartland Blood Centers, we never forget the patients who receive the blood we collect. Every unit of blood is collected from volunteer donors who meet specific criteria and have been screened according to strict guidelines. Every unit (pint) is collected, transported, tested and stored according to tightly-controlled procedures.
Examples of transfusion needs are:
• Cancer: up to 8 units/month
• Bone Marrow Transplant: up to 2 units/day
• Liver Transplant: up to 100 units
• Auto Accident: up to 50 units
• Cardiovascular Surgery: 2-25 units
This is a great way to start the year, so come on out and donate!
**All blood donations will be tested for COVID-19 Antibodies as part of standard processing. Results will post on the donor portal and Versiti smartphone app.
