Blood Drive

July 6, 2022

November 9th in McGivney Hall 3:00 – 7:00 pm

Blood is the most precious gift that anyone can give to another person — the gift of life. Our blood supplies are low and your help is desperately needed. We appreciate all those that have signed up for the drive. You can  learn more about blood donations and register online. https://bloodhero.com/ If all of the slots are filled, or if you have any questions, please contact Amy at amy@holyspiritlubbock.org or call the parish office.

A decision to donate your blood can save a life, or even several if your blood is separated into its components — red cells, platelets and plasma — which can be used individually for patients with specific conditions.

This summer, Vitalant is asking blood donors to Power UP in support of hospital patients. It means giving a Power Red, plasma or platelet donation based on their blood type.
• With a Power Red donation, donors give a concentrated dose of red blood cells, which are the most commonly transfused component in hospitals. We use an automated process to collect red cells and then return the other blood components back to the
donor. A Power Red donation usually takes about 15 minutes longer than a whole blood donation.

• Type O donors can Power UP to a Power Red donation and help trauma patients.

• Type A-negative and B-negative donors can Power UP to a Power Red donation and help patients undergoing surgeries and those with blood disorders.

• Many donors say they feel better after a Power Red donation compared to a whole blood donation. Saline solution is provided back to the donor with the other blood components, which leaves the body more hydrated compared to a whole
blood donation. Best of all, a smaller needle is used.
