Platte-Clay Hosts Annual Blood Donation Event
/The Community Blood Center and Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative is asking for donors’ help.
Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative is inviting the community to participate in a blood drive on Wednesday, October 8th, from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The event will take place in the meeting room at 1000 W. Highway 92.
As a token of appreciation, all donors will receive a free pizza cutter. Those interested in donating can sign up at savealifenow.org/group using the group code EF2R.
Most people donate whole blood—approximately 1 pint. After donation, your blood is separated into its components (red blood cells, platelets, and plasma) for distribution to local hospitals.
It usually takes about one hour from registration through refreshments to donate and people can donate whole blood every 56 days.
