South Charleston Blood Drive

Communities nationwide are facing blood shortages due to the pandemic. Collecting enough type O blood has been a persistent challenge for CBC. CBC is asking type O, A-negative and B-negative donors to consider making an automated double red cell donation. Many businesses and organizations are not hosting blood drives as many employees continue to work from home. CBC encourages remote workers to find a local blood drive and donate.
Blood donation requirements are to provide a photo ID that includes their full name, past CBC donors are also asked to bring their CBC donor ID card, be at least 17 years of age (16 years old with parental consent: form available at www.givingblood.org or at CBC branch & blood drive locations), weigh a minimum of 110 pounds (you may have to weigh more, depending on your height), and be in good physical health.
