Blood Drive - Wamesit Masonic Lodge

The Wamesit Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, in partnership with the American Red Cross, will be hosting a blood drive today. The Wamesit Lodge blood drive collects over 1,500 units of blood annually, helping save 4,500 lives each year, though we could always use the support of more blood donors. The Red Cross reports that every day, blood donors help patients of all ages: accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those battling cancer. In fact, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood.

Whether a first time, or repeat donor, please consider participating in the Wamesit Lodge blood drive. The blood donation process from the time you arrive until the time you leave takes about an hour, although the donation itself is only about 8-10 minutes of that time on average. With just those few minutes, you could personally help save as many as three lives. If interested in donating blood, please schedule an appointment by downloading the American Red Cross Blood Donor app or by visiting https://www.redcrossblood.org/. There you will find convenient times at the Masonic Hall.
