Email your community happening to: events@rutherfordweekly.com Donated blood is a lifesaving gift most healthy people can give. The community is encouraged to donate blood to help those who have been seriously injured and need blood products to help them recover. It's the blood already on the shelves that helps save lives. You are invited to donate on any of the following dates: • Thurs., May 18, 1-5:30PM Steps to Hope, Basement Community Room; 60 Ward St., Columbus • Wed., May 24, 10:45AM- 3:30PM Rutherford County Government, Conference Room; 289 N Main St., Rutherfordton • Wed., May 24, 1-5PM Spindale House, Upstairs Meeting Room; 119 Tanner St., Spindale • Fri., May 26, 12:30- 5:30PM Bill's Creek Community Center; 198 Club House Rd., Lake Lure • Tues., May 30, 12-4:30 PM Congregational UCC, Fellowship Hall; 210 Melrose Ave., Tryon Every day, the American Red Cross must collect more than 13,000 blood donations to meet the needs of trauma patients and others with serious medical conditions. While all blood types are needed, type O negative donors are especially important. Because it is the universal blood type and can be transfused to patients of any blood type, type O negative blood is what emergency personnel reach for when there is no time to determine the blood type of patients in the most serious situations. To make an appointment or to learn more, download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800- 733-2767) or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device. Completion of a RapidPass® online health history questionnaire is encouraged to help speed up the donation process. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/ RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App. A blood donor card or driver's license or two other forms of identifi cation are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
