(St. Louis – July 28, 2021) The office of St. Louis Comptroller Darlene Green will host its semiannual community blood drive with the American Red Cross on Wednesday, August 11, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in Room 208 of St. Louis City Hall.
For more information or to schedule an appointment to donate, call 1-800-RED-CROSS or visit redcrossblood.org.
All donors are welcome at the blood drive. The Red Cross is working around the clock to meet the extraordinary blood needs of hospitals and patients; but they can’t do it alone. They need our help to overcome the severe blood shortage. Please schedule an appointment and make an immediate impact.
Donation Safety
The Red Cross is testing all blood, platelet and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies, and each Red Cross blood drive and donation center follows the highest standards of safety and infection control. Red Cross essential services have been approved by local and federal officials, including the Department of Homeland Security, CDC, FDA, and the Surgeon General.
