There are still openings for this Thursday’s visit from the Blood Mobile.
The community is asked to sign up for time slots with the travelling blood donation center that serves Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
As usual, the bloodmobile will be parked in the Southborough Library’s parking lot at 25 Main Street.
If you would like to donate life giving blood through the Blood Mobile, as of this posting, there are only a few slots left, but walk-ins are also available. To register for a slot, click here.
As an incentive/reward, those who successfully donate will receive a Patriots Foundation baseball cap.
Brigham and Women’s continues to advertise their pressing need for Type-O positive and negative whole blood. Of course, they always also need blood from those that don’t meet those criteria.
To donate, you must be over 17 years old, at least 110lbs., and “in good health and feeling well”, and bring a Photo ID. (Participants are also encouraged to “Be well hydrated and eat before donating”.)
If you have other concerns about specific eligibility issues, please email BloodDonor@partners.org or call 617-632-3206.
Thanks again to organizer Karen Anglim, who has been arranging for the Blood Mobile to make multiple visits each year for the past few years. Save the dates for two more drives scheduled for Thursdays in 2025: September 11th, and November 6th.
