The Geneva Fire Department will host an American Red Cross blood drive from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 31, in its banquet hall and meeting room at 79 Geneva St.
The Red Cross is taking appointments by phone at 1-800-RED CROSS, or 1-800-733-2767, and online at RedCrossBlood.org using the sponsor code genevafd.
The drive announcement encourages eligible donors with type O, B-negative or A-negative blood to consider a Power Red donation.
Donors can complete pre-donation reading and health history questions on the day of their appointment through RapidPass. The Red Cross says the online step can save up to 15 minutes at the drive.
Those who give blood Dec. 18 through Jan. 3 can receive an exclusive Red Cross long-sleeved T-shirt while supplies last. Donors can also use the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
