Lane Memorial Blood Bank will be holding a blood drive today and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Anyone who wants to donate blood can register in the EMU’s Taylor Lounge and then go to the Bloodmobile parked outside the EMU.
“Summer time is when we need blood the most, so we’re gearing up,” Community Affairs Coordinator Christi Henderson said.
The bank needs all blood types and students don’t need to know their type. Donors must weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health and have photo ID, Community
Affairs Manager Chris Stockdale said. Donors must also eat a good meal with protein in it beforehand to
prevent nausea, she said.
Lane Memorial Blood Bank
provides blood for all of Lane County, including all three hospitals.
“We’ll provide cookies, juice and a big ‘thank you,’” Stockdale said.
