WHEN: 03/17/2022@5:00pm - 8:00pm WHERE: Carriage Place Red Cross Donor Center, 4820 Sawmill Rd, Columbus, OH
The Columbus Coalition of Reason regularly holds blood donation events at the Carriage Place Red Cross Donor Center in Columbus, Ohio. Some donors give 1 unit of whole blood while others do apheresis donating up to 3 units of platelets (and up to 2 units of plasma) or 2 units of red blood cells. Events are planned for Third Thursdays in January, March, May, July, September and November. We have to forgo having dinner together during the Covid-19 quarantine and may be donating at different locations on different days. The Red Cross helps us stay safe by requiring use of hand sanitizer at the door and facemasks. Donors do not sit at the same table afterward. Currently, these events are not as fun as when we can socialize together, but they are more meaningful. We look forward to the end of the pandemic so that we can resume dining together after donating. We are proud that we have continued to provide this "essential service" during the pandemic. NOTE: CURRENTLY YOU MUST SCHEDULE IN ADVANCE VIA CALLING OR ONLINE! To ensure physical distancing, walk in donors are not allowed during the quarantine. Please call 1-800-Red-Cross (1-800-733-2767) or sign up at https://www.redcross.org/ to schedule your appointment.
