November 29, 2022 - Thanksgiving Stake Blood Drive
Dear Stake members,
We have the opportunity to provide a great service in donating blood at our upcoming Blood Drive on Tuesday, November 29 at the building on 3155 N. Garden Drive, Lehi.
The Red Cross needs blood! The need for blood is increasing and the number of donors is decreasing. Blood that is donated is essential to helping trauma patients, those battling diseases like cancer, loss of blood during a surgery just to name a few. You never know when you or someone you know will need this gift, and what a great gift to share. We don’t ever want to tell anyone we don’t have the right blood available. I know it sounds dramatic but it can be literally life-saving. ***After the Red Cross takes care of Utah’s patients/hospital needs, they are able to send blood to Florida who has not been able to hold blood drives to collect but is still needing blood for patients.

We are wanting to minimize walk-ins so we are asking appointments be made online.
If you need help scheduling your appointment or have questions regarding your donation, you can call our Red Cross rep, Anita Kay at (801) 367-2331. She will be happy to help in any way!
If you have questions about your eligibility, call 1-866-236-3276 and follow the prompts to Donor Eligibility. *** Restrictions have recently been lifted to those that have been stationed or lived in Europe and previously been deferred. Call the eligibility line to have your deferral reversed. This includes the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland between 1980 and 1996. There are other countries now not deferred during that time so please call to check to see if you can now donate.
Before you donate, eat, drink water and bring picture ID.
We need you, we appreciate you and most of all we thank you!
We hope you will sign up!
