Make Your Appointment Now for the Spring Blood Drive April 17
From the City’s Community Affairs Department…
To supplement critically low blood supplies in the area, Troy is sponsoring a Spring Blood Drive on Thursday, April 17, 2008. Donors can stop in the Troy Community Center at 3179 Livernois from 9 am – 3 pm or the First Presbyterian Church of Troy at 4328 Livernois from 2 pm – 8 pm.
For appointments call the City of Troy’s Community Affairs Department at 248.524.1147. Walk-ins are also welcome. A photo ID or Red Cross Donor Card will be required at the time of donation.
“The blood needs of our community can only be met by support from volunteer blood donors,” Cindy Stewart, City of Troy Community Affairs Director, said. “After donating blood a person should feel like a hero, knowing that they just helped save up to three lives.”
To donate blood you must be in good health, weigh 110 pounds or more and be at least 17 years old. A photo ID or Red Cross Donor Card will be required at the time of donation. The donation process takes about an hour from the start of registration to walking out the door.
For over 90 years, the American Red Cross-Southeastern Michigan Chapter has served the people of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. For more information about the organization, visit www.semredcross.org.
