Middle Tennessee Blood Donation Opportunities: May 7-31, 2024

Help keep emergency rooms ready by giving blood or platelets

Free haircut coupon by email, chance to win VIP racing experience and more by coming to give now

NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 7, 2024 — When every second counts, blood products can provide lifesaving care. The American Red Cross asks the public to give blood or platelets during Trauma Awareness Month in May to keep hospitals prepared for all transfusion needs, including emergencies. Type O blood donors and donors giving platelets are especially needed right now: 

• Type O negative is the universal blood type and what emergency room personnel reach for when there is no time to determine a patient’s blood type in the most serious situations. 
• Type O positive blood is the most used blood type because it can be transfused to Rh-positive patients of any blood type.
• Platelets are often needed to help with clotting in cases of massive bleeding. 

It’s the blood already on the shelves that can help save lives in an emergency. Book a time to give now by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App. Thanks to Sport Clips Haircuts, all who come to donate April 29-May 31 will get a coupon for a free haircut by email. Plus, those who come to give through May 19 will be automatically entered for a chance to win a trip for two and VIP racing experience to the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Races at Darlington Raceway Labor Day weekend, including entry to the Sport Clips racetrack hospitality tent and a $1,000 gift card. Additionally, those who come to give through May 19 will also get a bonus $10 e-gift card to a merchant of choice. For details on all offers, visit RedCrossBlood.org/RaceToGive.

How to donate blood

Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. 

Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass^® to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App. 

Amplify your impact − volunteer!

Service to the Armed Forces Middle Tennessee Update

On Aug. 15, 2021, Middle Tennessee Service to the Armed Forces (SAF) volunteers Sara Thompson, Valerie Clarke and Denisha White served ice cream out of the Red Cross emergency response vehicle to the Service Members of 118th and their families for their Family Fun Day at Camp Widjiwagan in Antioch, Tennessee.

On Sept. 25, 2021, SAF volunteer Sandy Godwin provided curtail information during a Post-Deployment for 1129th YRE for 30 soldiers and their family about what services the American Red Cross provides for them when they return from deployment. 

Throughout 2021, SAF volunteers along other generous and talented quilters and crocheters contributed crocheted blankets, quilts and blankets for the Nashville VA Hospital, Alvin C. York  VA Hospital and the Tennessee State Veterans’ Home in Murfreesboro through our on going program Sewing for Soldiers.

American Red Cross of Tennessee Responds to Flooding

Volunteers begin to survey areas affected by Aug. 21 Flooding in Hickman, Humphrey, and Dickson Counties 

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 21, 2021 – American Red Cross disaster responders from across Tennessee are beginning the process to provide shelter, relief items and comfort for people impacted by floods in Hickman, Humphrey, and Dickson Counties early Saturday morning. The Red Cross is assisting with partners setting up shelters in those counties.  

 

“Our volunteers and staff will begin the response of surveying the area Sunday morning and will begin to assess the needs of each community we are serving following these storms,” said Joel Sullivan, regional executive director for Red Cross of Tennessee. “We are working with our local partners and government officials to ensure that recovery services are provided to begin helping the residents get back on their feet as quickly as we can.”  

 

Disaster Recovery Updates:  

· Red Cross volunteers have been trying to access areas affected to provide support to citizens. Several roadways are unpassable still, but our disaster volunteers will continue to seek communities that need assistance as it is safe to do so.  

· Red Cross is supporting partners to set up shelters in areas where homes were damaged or destroyed. 

· Red Cross is working closely with local officials, community partners, and Emergency Management Agencies to assess community needs.  

·  Red Cross will be in affected neighborhoods beginning tomorrow to begin surveying damage and will have recovery items for residents. 

 

“The safety of the disaster workforce and the people we serve is our top priority,” Sullivan added. “We are continuing to work under strict COVID protocols for safety of both our clients and our volunteers.”
