Blood donations are an ever-present need and just one donation can help save up to three lives. On Thursday, Aug. 9, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the city of Santa Clarita will partner with the American Red Cross to provide a community blood drive.
The drive will take place in the Century Room at City Hall, located at 23920 Valencia Boulevard. Residents are encouraged to register in advance online at redcrossblood.org to save time, however walk-ins will be accepted.
To donate blood, participants can register online, using sponsor code cityofsantaclarita. After signing up for an appointment and on the day of the blood drive, registrants can use RapidPass at redcrossblood.org/rapidpass, to start the screening process before getting to the City Hall donation site, saving approximately 15 minutes.
On donation day, participants can go directly to the Century Room on the first floor for evaluation, to ensure they are eligible to donate. All participants must have a valid ID to donate.
National statistics from the American Red Cross show that every two seconds someone needs a unit of blood.
For information on eligibility and critical donor blood shortages nationwide, visit RedCrossBlood.org.
