Whitefish community blood drive July 16

The American Red Cross will host its summer Whitefish Community Blood Drive on Thursday, July 16 at The Wave at 1250 Baker Ave., from 10:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. The entire donation process takes about an hour – including check-in, a brief health review, drawing the blood and snacks afterwards. Join to help keep the local blood supply available for neighbors who need it. 

Appointments are recommended and a blood donor card or a driver’s license is required at check-in. To schedule your appointment for July 16, go online to redcrossblood.org and search for blood drives in the 59937 area or you can call Merry Lynn at 406-250-0146. You will also need to complete a rapid pass questionnaire on the morning of the drive prior to arrival. Walk-in donors are welcome; however, there may be a short wait. It is important that you eat a hardy meal and drink plenty of water prior to giving blood. Snacks, water and juices will be provided at the Wave.
