Immanuel Blood Drives

Following the Stay at Home order issued on March 25 by Governor Walz and out of an abundance of caution, Memorial Blood Centers has made the decision to cancel all mobile operations through April 30, 2020, to protect staff and donors amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result, the Blood Drive scheduled at Immanuel Lutheran Church on April 29th has been cancelled.

Cancelling blood drives for this period of time does significantly impact the blood supply, but is necessary for the protection of donors and staff. Healthy donors, however, are still needed.

If you are healthy, donors are encouraged to donate blood at Memorial Blood Centers’ donation centers, where they have implemented additional precautionary measures to control the environment and regulate social distancing. They have also expanded donation hours at the Donation Centers.

Donors are asked to schedule appointments ahead of time rather than walking in, to help practice social distancing when donors arrive for their appointments. You can find the donation center closest to you, see their hours and schedule at appointment at https://www.mbc.org/donate-blood/locations/  or you can call them at 888-448-3253.

We anticipate the blood drive scheduled at Immanuel in the fall will still be held, however, should that change we will keep you informed.

Thank you for your generous gift of life during this crucial time.
