Apheresis drives are where the American Red Cross collects platelets. The Gateway Area Chapter hosts apheresis drives held every other month on the second Wednesday of the month at the Old Fulton Fire Station from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The 2010 schedule is as follows:

  • July 14
  • September 8
  • November 10

Every minute of every day, someone needs blood. That blood can only come from a volunteer donor, a person like you who makes the choice to donate. There is no substitute for your donation.

When you make a blood donation, you join a very select group. Currently only 3 out of every 100 people in America donate blood.

From its beginning, the American Red Cross has formed a community of service, of generous, strong and decent people bound by beliefs beyond themselves. The American Red Cross blood donor embodies this principle. Please join us in our mission to maintain a safe and stable blood supply by making your appointment to donate blood today by calling (563) 242-5223.

You can also sponsor a blood mobile! For more information, call the Gateway Area Chapter at (563) 242-5223!
