The event will be held in our meeting room from 1:00-6:00 PM. To schedule an appointment, call 1-800-REDCROSS or use the link above.

On the day of your appointment, you can streamline your donation experience by visiting RedCrossBlood/RapidPass to complete your pre-donation reading and health history questions.
