April 27, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 7:00 pm
The American Red Cross encourages healthy individuals to keep scheduled donation appointments and to make new blood donation appointments for the weeks ahead to ensure a stable supply throughout this pandemic. MPPC has decided to host a blood drive in the Fellowship Hall in order to help the Red Cross to meet their donation needs. Please know that the blood drive will be operated in the safety way possible with many additional sanitation guidelines in place. To read more about all safety precautions taken, click here.

- All donors will be asked to have their temperature taken before being permitted into the Fellowship Hall.
- Red Cross staff and volunteers will be wearing masks and gloves at all times. However, gloves and masks cannot be provided to donors so you should wear your own.
- Non-donors, including children, will not be allowed in the Fellowship Hall.
- After initial check-in, donors will be asked to wait in a designated area (or even their car). Donors will be asked to provide their mobile phone number so they can be called when it is their turn to donate.
