To ensure the safety of all blood donors and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, the American Red Cross has implemented a number of important new procedures.

The new COVID-19 blood donation and post-vaccination guidelines implemented by the American Red Cross are below. If you have specific questions about these regulations, you can contact the American Red Cross Donor Client Support Center at 1-866-236-3276.

Scolnick, Founder, is proud to announce the “10 for 10” Community CHAllenge! For every unit of blood collected at the drive on May 4th, donations will be made to 10 local organizations that are carrying out important work in the Radnor community and beyond: Radnor Fire Company/Radnor Ambulance Learn more about the “10 for 10” Community CHAllenge at www.chablooddrive.org. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an ongoing, critical need for blood donations, as many blood drives that typically run at high schools, colleges, and businesses have been canceled or greatly reduced in size. This blood drive will provide an opportunity to ensure that blood products will be available for patients who need them in the late spring and early summer months.
