Donate blood and help save a life. Make an appointment to donate blood at the American Red Cross Blood Drive on Monday, August 10 from 2:00-7:00 p.m. in the ACS Gym at its Egg Harbor Township campus.
“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for blood is very urgent – there is a huge shortage,” said Student Council Faculty Advisor Dave Genter, who is overseeing the blood drive. Our goal for the August 10 blood drive is to collect 40 or more donations. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most people will need blood at some point in their lifetime.
Genter said that the Red Cross is automatically doing antibody testing for COVID-19 on all donated blood and donors will be advised of the results 10-14 days after donation.
Since 2008, ACS has hosted American Red Cross blood drives to help meet the needs of patients at hospitals in our community.
