During 2021, Haywood EMC responded to blood shortages by hosting spring and fall blood drives at our Waynesville office. During the two blood drives, employees and member-owners donated 44 units of blood, saving 132 lives. As blood banks across the area are reporting critical need for blood donations as the pandemic continues, Haywood EMC has partnered with The Blood Connection to host another blood drive on Thursday, March 24, from 1 - 6pm. Each donor will receive a $45 eGift card and T-shirt for helping save lives in our community.
Each donation saves 3 lives. Donors need to be at least 16 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds, have ID and be in general good health. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments will be honored first.
