Community Blood Drive June 8 At Sagebrush

The Kimball Community Blood Drive will be held on Monday, June 8, from 2 to 5:30 p.m. at the Sagebrush (formerly the Kimball Event Center). Oorganizers noted that donating blood is still safe to do and is considered an essential gathering by the CDC.

Donors are encouraged to make an appointment and are required to wear a face covering. Blood driver workers will be pre-screening donors and working to keep 6 feet of distance between donors to keep our community safe.

Donors can save up to three lives with a donation. To learn more about what is being done in response to COVID-19, visit vitalant.org. To make an appointment, call Donna Linn at 308-235-2256 or the appointment center at 307-638-3326.

Appointments are strongly encouraged in the coming days, weeks and months to ensure a consistent blood supply.

PLEASE DO NOT DONATE BLOOD IF YOU ARE NOT FEELING WELL. VITALANT DOES NOT TEST FOR COVID-19.

However, there is no inherent risk of getting coronavirus from the donation procedure itself. To minimize the risk of contracting it from others, the staff will follow rigorous safety and disinfection protocols.
