Assumption Blood Drive – Coming Soon!

Assumption Parish will be hosting another blood drive and you are encouraged once again to consider making a donation of the Gift of Life. You may donate if you have had COVID-19, if you are at least 14 days symptom free. There is no deferral period after receipt of the COVID vaccine. Currently, there is a critical need for the following blood types: O-, O+ and B-. Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center will be in the parish hall on Sunday, May 16, 2021, 9:00am – 1:30pm, and we look forward to welcoming you there! If you have not donated blood since March 20, you are eligible to donate at this drive. Donations must be by appointment only to accommodate social distancing. During this challenging time, many blood drives are being cancelled. YOUR donation is more important than ever so that the needs of patients in the area can be met. Strict protocols are in place to ensure your safety and the safety of the blood being collected. You may go to www.bloodcenterIMPACT.org (use sponsor code 9007) to schedule an appointment; or call MVRBC at 800-747-5401 for assistance in scheduling. Please visit www.bloodcenter.org for information about COVID-19 protocols relating to blood donations. Mississippi Valley representative, Terry Deters, is also available to answer any questions you may have about donating. He can be reached at 314-852-3842. Parish coordinator, Mary Anne Robinson, can also be reached at 636-541-2823 to assist with scheduling.
