Blood Drive at Local Church

The La Cañada Presbyterian Church will be hosting a blood drive in the Fellowship Hall on Thursday, Aug. 12 from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. The church is located at 626 Foothill Blvd. in La Cañada.

Those who have received a COVID-19 vaccine will need to provide the name of the manufacturer before donating. After being vaccinated, a card or printout should have been given indicating what COVID-19 vaccine was received. Bring that card on the day of the blood donation. In most cases, there is no deferral time for individuals who received a vaccination as long as they are symptom free and feeling well at the time of donation. Those who have eligibility questions can call (800) 733-2767.

Come to LCPC 15 minutes prior to the scheduled donation time to line up. Please have photo ID in order to give blood. A mask must be worn by those not vaccinated.
