The next Stanley-Boyd Community Red Cross Blood Drive will be Thursday, June 3, 12 to 6 pm at Holy Family Hall. There is currently a critical need for blood so be sure to schedule your appointment today. You can make an appointment by calling Donella Christianson at 715-644-3638 or do it online. Walk-ins will not be accepted unless there is an open slot when you come in or if there is one later and you come back.

Please do not arrive earlier than 15 minutes prior to your appointment time. If you are late for your appointment, you may not be able to donate, unless there is another open slot later and you come back.

Eligible donors must be 17 years or older, weigh at least 110 pounds, and feel well on the day of the drive. Sixteen-year-olds are eligible, but must present a signed Red Cross Parental Consent form, available from Donella.

RapidPass saves donors time at the drive. Just search redcrossblood.org/rapidpass for the time-saving phone app.

Patients depend on you, the healthy blood donor, so they can keep enjoying life. Help someone who is less fortunate, donate blood on June 3.

Founded by Clara Barton in May of 1881 (just over four months before Stanley was platted), the Red Cross endeavors to bring aid and relief to all regardless of creed or other pre-qualifier, depending on the generosity of its donors to do so.
