It’s the season of giving … donate blood in Sheridan

There is an ongoing urgent need for blood donations, and the Sheridan community is doing its part to help hospital patients. The generosity of donors like you cannot be understated – 560 units of blood are needed for patients across Indiana every single day.

From 3:45 to 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 7, any eligible blood donor can come to the Sheridan Public Library, 103 W. 1st St., to give hope and life to patients in need. The blood drive will be held in the Versiti Bloodmobile in the library’s parking lot.

Appointments are required; please click here to set up your blood donation timeslot. A photo ID is required to donate.

Please remember to eat a healthy meal and drink plenty of water before donating blood. If you have any questions about medications you take, tattoos, or even issues related to travel, please call or text Kashiun Pierce at (765) 465-2998 or email kmpierce@versiti.org.

Donors are encouraged to bring their friends and family – make a new lifesaving tradition.

Masks or other suitable face coverings are required when donating.

A COVID-19 Antibody Test (CAT) will be performed on all blood donations as part of Versiti’s standard testing procedure. For more information, visit versiti.org/covid19.
