Greensboro Area Red Cross Blood Drives Coming Up Soon

GREENSBORO, NC — The nation's low blood donation supply continues to pose a challenge during a summer when demand is unusually high.

The Red Cross needs to collect more than 1,000 additional daily blood donations in order to meet hospital demand.

Hospitals are treating a high number of traumatic injuries this summer. There is also high demand for organ transplants and elective surgeries.

People who donate through the end of July will receive a $10 Amazon.com gift card, plus automatically be entered for a chance to win free gas for a year.

Here are the Red Cross blood drives coming up in the Greensboro area in the next few weeks. You can search for additional Red Cross blood drives from a wider area here.

People who have received a coronavirus vaccine can donate blood so long as they are symptom-free, feeling well and can provide the vaccine manufacturer's name, according to the American Red Cross. There is no waiting period after getting a vaccine dose.

In most states, donors need to be at least 17 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in generally good health; some states allow 16-year-olds to donate with parental consent. Donors 18 years old and younger need to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Donors are asked to schedule an appointment prior to arriving at the drive. Appointments can be made via the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, online or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS.
