Buckeye blood drive

May 16, 2019 @ 2:00 pm - 7:00 pm

We’re calling on all Buckeyes to participate in our blood drive at Rocky River United Methodist Church. The American Red Cross has an urgent need for all blood types, especially type O.

To sweeten the deal, all donors will receive a certificate for a free scoop of Mitchell’s Ice Cream (while supplies last), a Malley Bar from Malley’s Chocolates, special refreshments provided by Whole Foods and a $5 Amazon gift card via email.

Schedule your appointment online or call 1-800-RED-CROSS.

More information for donors

Check out these helpful tips for first-time donors. The blood donation process takes about an hour with the actual donation only taking about 10 minutes. If you haven’t given in a while, please give again to help sustain a sufficient blood supply. If you know someone who has never donated before, please encourage them to make an appointment with you.

Donor tips

Whether you’re a new donor or lifelong donor, here are some tips for an enjoyable donation experience:

  1. Eat iron-rich foods leading up to your donation.
  2. Hydrate – drink an extra 16 oz. of liquid before and after the donation.
  3. Have a healthy meal before the donation.
  4. Wear comfortable clothing with sleeves that can be raised above the elbow.
  5. Complete a RapidPass on the day of donation, to save time using your laptop, desktop computer or mobile device.
  6. Remember to bring a picture ID, blood donor card or two other forms of identification.
