Halloween Blood Drive

he Red Cross is working to restock critically needed blood products after the cancellation of about 100 blood drives, which have caused nearly 2,500 blood donations to go uncollected due to Hurricane Helene.   For so many people living with urgent medical care needs, the need for blood doesn’t stop for disasters of any kind. The threat of hurricanes persists in October. Because blood has a short shelf life and can only come from volunteer blood donors, any disruptions in the ability to collect lifesaving blood can have serious consequences for hospitals and patients.

Here is how you can help.. Donate blood at this Thursdays Halloween Blood Drive at Pack Memorial Library from 10:30am-3:30pm

Please click the link below or go to redcrossblood.org and put in sponsor code: buncombecounty to sign-up to donate blood at the annual Buncombe County Employee Halloween Blood Drive.  The event will be held at the Pack Memorial Library in the Lord Auditorium from 10:30am-3:30pm on THURSDAY, 10/31/24.  Each donor will receive a $10 Amazon gift card by email, a Limited Edition American Red Cross Halloween T-shirt, a treat bag, food and prizes!  Buncombe County Employees who come to two blood drives this year will also be eligible to receive 10 Be Well Points! Come join the fun and save up to 3 lives in the process.  Walk-ins are welcome but appointments are honored first.
