OneBlood will hold a blood drive Wednesday, June 9 outside Venice City Hall, 401 W. Venice Ave., from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For June, OneBlood is focusing on honoring and supporting our first responders. OneBlood encourages Venice first responders to come out and donate the “gift of life” aboard the Big Red Bus if they are available and eligible, along with all City employees and the general public. 

Note: It must be 56 days since your last whole blood donation.

Donating blood is safe. COVID-19 does not pose any known risk to blood donors during the donation process or from attending blood drives. Donors are asked to wear a mask and will be socially distanced aboard the bus.

Each donor will receive a free OneBlood first responders T-shirt and $10 eGift Card, along with a wellness checkup including blood pressure, temperature, iron count, pulse and cholesterol screening, and a snack. All successful donors will receive a free COVID-19 antibody test.

ID required please.

Appointments are strongly encouraged.
