American Red Cross Blood Drive

The American Red Cross is holding a public blood drive at Calvary Christian Center, 1516 Grand Street in Alameda. Walk-ins are welcome!

All presenting blood donors are eligible to enter a drawing to win one month’s mortgage or rent payment – not to exceed $2,000 – paid by the Red Cross.

Blood is needed by accident and trauma victims, premature babies, and patients undergoing treatment for cancer and many other life-threatening diseases.  Volunteer blood donations help to ensure blood is there when it is needed.
