We are so proud of the way the Homer community has stepped up during this time of blood shortage. Our church hosted it's 163rd blood drive on Saturday, August 3rd. Our new goal was 40 units and we met that goal even though we had 6 deferrals. We also garnered 3 new first-time donors. As always it couldn't have happened without the support of our church volunteers. Rich Tice set up the church dining room. John Dey and Steve Mosier unloaded the van, at 8:00 Saturday morning. Diane Slade supervised the canteen as well as Sherry and Bob Keep. Steve and Donna Farkas covered the registration table. John and Steve reloaded the van at the close of the drive and Rich saw to it that the dining room was put back in order. Thank you so much. The next drive will be September 28th from 9am until 2pm and our appointment schedule is already half full with 24 people signed up! These donors should plan to get a good night's sleep and hydrate. Scheduled donors can streamline their donation experience and save up to 15 minutes by visiting RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questions on the day of their appointment. Potential donors can schedule an appointment at: www.redcrossblood.org or call to make an appointment at 1-800-RED-CROSS. As always plan ahead. If all appointment slots are filled, we may not be able to take walk-in donors. That was true of this most recent drive.

Upcoming Blood Drive Dates: September 28, 2024 November 23, 2024 January 25, 2025 March 22, 2025 May 24, 2025
