April Blood Drives at Troy Community Center and First Presbyterian Church of Troy

The following information was provided in a press release.

To supplement critically low blood supplies in the area, the City of Troy is sponsoring two Red Cross blood drives on Wednesday, April 24 and Thursday, April 25 (Room 305) from 9 am – 2:45 pm at the Troy Community Center (Room 305), 3179 Livernois. 

For people needing a later appointment on Wednesday, April 24 there is an American Red Cross Blood Drive from 1 – 6:45 pm at First Presbyterian Church of Troy, 4328 Livernois, between Wattles & Long Lake Rds.  

The Community Affairs Office at City Hall is now scheduling appointments at (313) 549-7058.  You may also sign up by visiting redcrossblood.org. The access code for the site is troy. 

Walk-ins are welcome, but a photo ID or Red Cross Donor Card will be required at the time of donation. Donors must be at least 17 years old, weigh more than 110 pounds, and be in good general health to donate.

“The blood needs of our community can only be met by support from volunteer blood donors,” City of Troy Community Affairs Director Cindy Stewart said. “Donations are critical for burn victims, open-heart surgeries, some chemotherapy and leukemia patients, and disaster relief.  One donation can help save the lives of up to three people.”

For over 90 years, the American Red Cross-Southeastern Michigan Chapter has served the people of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.  For more information about the organization, visit semredcross.org.
