56th Straight Monthly Red Cross Blood Drive on February 18th

Our 56th straight monthly Red Cross Blood Drive at the VFW is scheduled for Tuesday, February 18th between 1-6pm.  This event is a crucial effort to support our community’s healthcare needs and save lives through blood donations. Blood donations are essential to hospitals and medical facilities, helping patients in critical need of transfusions due to surgeries, accidents, and medical conditions. Your generous contribution can make a significant impact and contribute to the well-being of those in our community.  A recent study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, found that people who donated blood had a significant lower risk of suffering a heart attack!

Event Details:
Date: Tuesday, February 18, 2025
Time: 1-6pm
Location: VFW Post 399, 465 Riverside Ave, Westport CT

Participation is open to all community members who are eligible to donate blood. The process is safe, and precautions will be taken to ensure the health and safety of donors and staff, following all necessary COVID-19 guidelines. Donating blood is a noble and life-saving act. Don’t forget to schedule your appointment in advance if you plan to donate!

Donors are encouraged to schedule their appointments in advance to help manage the flow of participants. For appointment, please visit WWW.REDCROSSBLOOD.ORG – use sponsor code: VFWWESTPORT or call 1-800-733-2767
