Community Blood Drive – Providence Township Building
August 30, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 7:00 pm
The Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health Blood Donor Center encourages people to donate blood and platelets as often as possible. Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health sponsors community blood drives each month throughout Lancaster County, as well as at the Blood Donor Center at the Suburban Pavilion. Blood that is collected stays in Lancaster County to benefit members of our community.
The United States is currently experiencing a dangerous shortage of blood supplies. Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health encourages all eligible donors to make a donation at either our blood donor center or one of our community blood drives. Blood donation is safe, including for those who have received a COVID-19 vaccination.
Blood donors must be in good health (free of allergy, flu, cold and nausea symptoms for at least three days), 16 years of age (with parental consent) to 74 years of age, weigh at least 110 pounds, be well hydrated, eat a substantial meal within four hours before donating, and bring a form of ID.
All blood donors must schedule an appointment to come to the blood drives by calling 717-544-0177, or schedule online at LGhealth.org/giveblood (local Blood Drive Events tab). Donors will receive a free gift.
