United Church of Benson is hosting an American Red Cross Blood Drive on Monday July 27th from 1PM – 6PM at the 2793 Stage Road, Benson, VT 05743. We ask that you schedule your appointment online so the number of persons waiting is held to a minimum.

Yes, it is safe. You can read about the Red Cross' enhanced safety protocols at https://www.redcrossblood.org/ and schedule an appointment while you are there. You can also reduce your time at the drive by using Rapid Pass within 24 hours of the drive to complete reading the predonation materials and answering the questions online.

For a limited time, the Red Cross will do COVID-19 antibody testing for all donors who have scheduled their appointment prior to the drive. You will be able to login to the Red Cross App or online with your blood donor account to see the result in 7-10 days of your donation. Please note, antibody testing is not to diagnose illness.

If July 27th does not work for you or you would like to donate sooner, please find another drive close by and schedule your appointment there. If you can't find the answer to a specific blood donation question, call 1-800 RED-CROSS. We hope to see you on the 27th.
