Monthly Blood Drive - Mar 2023

blood10:00 am - 5:30 pm in the Lower Parking Lot, Walnut St. side
Donating blood may be one of the most important things you’ve ever done. Just one pint of your blood can save as many as four lives. Come and donate in Fredricksen's lower parking lot (Walnut Street). The Central PA Blood Bank will be here the first Thursday this month. It is a safe and easy process which takes approximately 45 minutes. Generally, anyone age 16 or older, weighing at least 110 pounds and in good health, can donate blood. We strongly suggest you schedule an appointment to donate blood. Appointments help us improve your donation experience. A form of ID is required to donate. Go to 717giveblood.org or call the number listed below. Walk-Ins are welcome; however, donors with appointments will be taken first and this may result in a significant wait time. If you have any questions about donating, call Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank at 1-800-771-0059 or visit www.cpbb.org.
