The American Red Cross will hold a blood drive on Tuesday, May 28, at the Geneseo Public Library, 805 North Chicago St. The drive will begin at 1 p.m. and continue until 5 p.m.
Donors are asked to make an appointment by calling 1-800-733-2767 (1-800-RED Cross).
According to information received, blood donors are needed, and anyone donating blood will receive a Tetris and American Red Cross T-Shirt while shirt supplies last, and names of donors will automatically be entered into a drawing for a trip for two to New York to meet Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov.
Donors can complete their health history questions (Rapid Pass) online using any device before their visit at redcross.org.
The Red Cross Blood Donor app is available at Google Play or at the app store. The app allows those planning to donate to schedule their appointment, complete Rapid Pass, view previous donations/health histories and follow their blood donation.
It’s also recommended that those planning to donate increase their vitamin C to their diet by eating fruits and leafy green vegetables, such as strawberries, tomatoes, spinach and Brussels sprouts.
Anyone with questions about donating, getting a Red Cross ID card or who would like more information, is asked to call 1-800-733-2767 (1-800-RED CROSS).
