American Red Cross Blood Drives For November

The American Red Cross Scioto Valley Chapter House, North Bridge Street, Chillicothe, Ohio

Presented by McDonald’s, I’m Lovin’ It!

Donors of all blood types are urged to give now to keep the blood supply stable. Blood donations often decline from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day, and the COVID-19 pandemic may further impact donations. Every donation can give a hospital patient something to be extra thankful for this year.

The Red Cross continues testing blood donations for COVID-19 antibodies. As part of this effort, plasma from standard blood donations that test positive for COVID-19 antibodies may now help current coronavirus patients in need of convalescent plasma transfusions.

The American Red Cross continues to experience a decline in scheduled educational blood drives this fall due to COVID-19 drive cancellations. To help encourage and provide incentive for youth donors to donate blood, any donor, ages 16-24, who comes to give blood Oct. 17 – Dec. 17, 2020 will automatically receive a $10 e-gift card, by email. 

Below are the blood drives that are open to the public in November.
