Chassell Post 6507 VFW Blood Drive

The Chassell Post 6507 VFW and Auxiliary will be hosting a blood drive on Wednesday, November 11, from 2pm-6pm at their post (42103 Wilson Memorial Drive, Chassell).  All community members are welcome and encouraged to donate blood.  All blood donated through the UP Regional Blood Center stays in the Upper Peninsula and helps patients in need at one of the 12 Upper Peninsula hospitals.  One donation can save up to 3 lives, and there is an urgent need for all blood types.  Appointments are available by calling 906-449-1450, but appointments are not necessary, walk-ins are welcome.

To encourage people to donate and help community members, the Chassell VFW and Auxiliary have donated $75 in Keweenaw Cash.  All donors can enter into a drawing for the Keweenaw Cash, which is money that can be used at any of the Chamber of Commerce participating businesses.

Donors need to be at least 17 years old (or 16 with written parental consent).  You may give blood even if you are on medications (most medications are ok, but if you have any questions, you can call the Blood Center at 906-449-1450 to check).  Blood can be donated every 8 weeks.  If you are not able to attend this drive, you can donate at the Hancock site or reach out to the UP Regional Blood Center to find another upcoming local drive.
