Residents will have another opportunity to make a lifesaving impact at an upcoming Manchester Blood Drive on Friday, June 5, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Justice Center, located at 200 Highlands Blvd. Dr.
Community members are encouraged to donate and help maintain a steady blood supply for hospitals and emergency responders. Blood donations are essential for a wide range of medical needs, including surgeries, trauma care and treatment for chronic illnesses.
The drive will offer two donation options: whole blood and Power Red. Whole blood donation is the most common type and is used in many different medical situations. Power Red is a specialized donation that collects only red blood cells—the component most frequently needed for transfusions—while returning plasma and platelets to the donor. This process allows donors to provide a concentrated dose of red cells, which can be especially helpful for patients experiencing significant blood loss or certain medical conditions.
Appointments are encouraged and can be made online at redcrossblood.org, though walk-ins are welcome as space allows.
