This Halloween, give the most important treat of all – the gift of life. On Thursday, October 31, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the Red Cross is hosting a blood drive at the City Hall Atrium, 30 Church St, Rochester, NY 14614. Your donation could save lives, and it only takes a small part of your day to make a big impact.

Scheduling an appointment is easy! Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter the code CityHallRochester to secure your time slot. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are highly encouraged to ensure a smooth process.

If you are an eligible type O, B-, or A- donor, consider making a Power Red donation. Power Red donations allow you to maximize your impact by donating concentrated red blood cells, the most commonly transfused blood component. This special type of donation is essential for patients in need of surgeries, trauma care, and cancer treatments.

Make your experience even quicker by visiting RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass on the day of your appointment. By completing your pre-donation reading and health history questions in advance, you can save up to 15 minutes when you arrive. It’s a great way to streamline your donation process and spend more time enjoying the rest of your day.

A Sweet Treat for Donating

As a thank you for your generosity, all donors in October will receive a $10 Gift Card by email. It’s the perfect treat for taking time out of your schedule to help those in need.

Remember, your blood donation could be the reason someone gets a second chance. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a difference – sign up today and be a part of something bigger this Halloween.

Together, we can help save lives.
