Sponsored by OSVPR :  MRI, SSRI, Huck, IEE, and ICS

The June 7 drive is part of the Third Annual Penn State Summer Blood Drive Challenge—blood supplies are particularly low right now as a result of pandemic-related restrictions and illnesses, so it is especially important in these times for those eligible to donate when they can.  Remember, a single blood donation can help save up to three lives—every donor and every pint counts! 

[IMPORTANT NOTE:  Though walk-in donations will be accepted, please make an appointment for your donation if at all possible--this will ensure that we are adequately staffed to accommodate everyone who wishes to donate, as the Red Cross staffs the drive based upon the number of appointments made in advance--thanks!]

Make your appointment for our June Blood Drive today!  Both whole blood and  power red donations will be accepted.  

~~Donation is easy and takes no more than one hour of your time (about 1 ½ hrs. for power reds). 

Appointments are strongly encouraged (see how and why below)--Walk-ins are also welcome!*
