Results of the October Redwood Falls Bloodmobile

Redwood Falls has hosted 186 blood drives over the years, collecting 22,643 units of blood for an average of 122 units per drive.

Earlier this week, the Red Cross Bloodmobile collected 196 units, pretty good considering blood drives nationwide are hurting.
According to Redwood Falls organizer Julie Rath, two-day goal was for 210 units. There were 23 no-shows, partially made up for by 14 walk-in donors. Fifteen potential donors were deferred.

The next Redwood Falls Blood Drive will be held January 15 and 16, 2024 from NOON to 6 p.m. at the Redwood Area Community Center. Rath stated that as of Thursday, Oct. 19, 127 people have registered for the January blood drive, with 123 openings to go.
