9 parishioners donated 12 units of blood at the Schaumburg Blood Center and a total of 157 units were collected this year!!!
The Vitalant Blood bank is taking extra precautions because of the COVID—19 crisis. Appointments are required. Please call 877-258-4825. All potential donors are having their temperature taken at the door. Those whose temperature exceeds the maximum temperature allowed, cannot donate. They do not test for the Coronavirus.
They are also maintaining social distancing between donors waiting. Eligibility requirements have changed to exclude those who have recently traveled to certain countries - Italy, China, etc. Employees are also maintaining the safe 6 foot distance, except when drawing blood. They are disinfecting the tables and chairs in the center constantly.
Our next blood drive, the Gayle Photokarm Memorial blood drive, is scheduled for Sunday, June 7. If the lower level of church is not available, discussions have been ongoing to have a virtual blood drive. More information will be forthcoming.
We have a special community who has been committed to helping others, and in this case, saving lives.
