On Thursday, September 19, 2019 the American Red Cross will be at the Lions Memorial Building from 12:00 PM until 6:00 PM collecting blood donations. The Woodbury Lions Club will be hosting the drive. Again, a shortage of supply in the Blood Banks means it is critical to replenish shelves. Due to hurricane Dorian and Labor Day traffic an increase in demand occurred. Red Cross goal is to collect 45 pints, Woodbury Lions Club would like to see this goal met plus 10 to fifteen more units. Cannon County always seems to be able to achieve higher goals than many areas with three or four times more populated.
SportClips haircuts will send a coupon by email for a free haircut at participating locations to all that come out to donate. The Lions Memorial Building is located on the newly rename We Serve Circle which was earlier Park Circle, but if using a GPS device to find the location use 634 Lehman Street, Woodbury. Red Cross and the Woodbury Lions Club encourages everyone who thinks that they may want to donate to go to website: RedCrossBlood.org and enter sponsor code : WoodburyCommunity19 and schedule an appointment. Doing this will cause Red Cross to make sure that they have enough staff to handle expected donors. When 35 donors register and sixty show up and their staff only has enough to handle 44, this will cause a long unnecessary delay. You can also streamline your donation and save up to 15 minutes by going to website: RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass on the day of the drive and completing your pre-donation reading and health history.
Both the American Red Cross and the Woodbury Lions Club encourages you to come and donate the gift of life.
