Harmony will be hosting a bloodmobile at the Harmony Community Center from 1-7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 6, 2010. All donors will be required to provide identification before donating, so please remember your donor card or driver's license.
Typically, all healthy men and women who are at least 16 years old and weigh 110 pounds or more are eligible to donate blood. Sixteen-year-olds need the written permission of their parent or guardian. Parental consent forms will be available on the day of the blood drive. There is no upper age limit, and the time commitment is minimal. Donors are eligible to give blood every 56 days, or approximately six times per year.
While walk-ins are more than welcome, donors are highly encouraged to make appointments. To make an appointment, or to obtain a parental consent form before the blood drive, please call Marilyn Bratager at 507-937-3406.
