American Red Cross Blood Drives

Posted on 22nd July 2011 by Celina Mendoza in Events, Fliers & Posters, Information

, , , ,

The American Red Cross of the Heartland will be holding two blood drives that specifically reach out to the Latino Community. Research has shown that a large percentage of Latinos in the United States have type O blood, universal donor. However, only 4% of Latinos give blood. By making these blood drives Latino-friendly with a bilingual staff, the Red Cross of the Heartland is looking to change this statistic. Nevertheless, this is not exclusive to Latinos; all are welcome to come and give blood.

 The first blood drive will be held on Monday, July 25th, at The Arbors at Eastland Apartments [208 S. Prospect Road, Bloomington, IL 61704] from 1:00pm to 5:00pm.

The second will be held on Friday July 29th at Western Avenue Community Center [600 N. Western Avenue, Bloomington, IL 61701] from 11:00am to 3:00pm.

You can call 309-662-0500 or visit http://www.archeartland.org/ to make an appointment. Walk-ins are welcome. Please spread the word about these drives and help save lives!
