The Kenney Fire Department is once again hosting its annual Good Friday blood drive at its fire station.
Troy Lashbrook and Kerry Coles on the WHOW Morning Show Monday told Regional Radio this is the fifth blood drive, this year it honors the recently passed President of the Board Trustees and long-time fireman, Tom Conaty.
According to Lashbrook, anyone donating blood will have a temperature check before they enter the building and masks will be required throughout the process. He also points out there will be sanitation efforts happening as people come and go.
The Red Cross is in dire need of blood and Coles indicates one of the benefits of your donation this year is the Red Cross is also testing blood donations for COVID antibodies, and those results get returned in one to two weeks.
Contact Lashbrook at 563-321-0416 or Coles at 217-416-1599 for more information. You can also get more registered for an appointment at redcrossblood.org.
Again, the annual Kenney Fire Department Good Friday blood drive takes place on April 2nd from noon to 6 pm at the Fire Department at 110 East Sheldon Street in Kenney.
