Fieldcrest Red Cross blood drive needs donors

Friday, March 27, 2020 - Posted 1:43:33 PM by Garilyn Wells

The Fieldcrest High School had a Red Cross blood drive scheduled prior to the school closure. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the drive is even more important now than before. However, we cannot rely on students as donors, as we normally would. We are reaching out to surrounding communities to ask for their support during this critical time. The Red Cross will follow the CDC guidelines to ensure the safety of the workers, volunteers and donors. This will include temperature checks before entry, careful hand washing, increased spacing and sanitizing all equipment used.

We are still in need of approximately 20 donors. Anyone who is able to donate, please either sign up at https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/donation-time or or contact the drive coordinator, Garret Piasse at 309-603-2407, or Garilyn Wells at gwells@unit6.org.
