F'20 November Blood Drive (11/17) Sign Up

Hi everybody!

The November Blood Drive is soon! We know that it is a difficult time right now and many things remain uncertain, but we hope that there are still people who are able to help with our blood drive this month. If you are comfortable and able to volunteer, please consider helping out!

To reduce the number of people during the actual drive, the American Red Cross only need four volunteers per shift: one to help with registration, another to help take the temperature of donors, and two people to canteen and wipe down stations/seats to maintain sanitary quality. Additionally, if possible, please sign up for two shifts in a row (2 hours total) to reduce the number of people transitioning in and out of the blood drive.

The drive will be held at the Berkeley LDS Church (1501 Walnut Street, Berkeley) instead of the usual Pauley Ballroom. If you are in the Berkeley area and have time to help out, please do!!

The staff will be taking extra precautionary measures by wiping down the beds and stations after each donor while maintaining the 6ft distancing. On the day of the drive, anyone with a temperature of over 99.6 will be asked not to donate. All volunteers will be asked to wear a mask and volunteers helping with temperature checks will be required to change gloves between donors (gloves will be available).

Thank you so much and we hope everyone is staying safe! :)

Regards,
Blood Committee
