On Wednesday, June 5, workers at the Atlanta Galleria Office Park and members of the surrounding community can do their part to help meet this tremendous need by donating blood. From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., a LifeSouth Bloodmobile will be in the visitor parking lot of Galleria 100. Travelport and the Galleria Athletic Club are sponsoring the event.
Appointments for blood donations are preferred, but walk-ups also are welcome. To schedule an appointment, visit this sign-up sheet.
The entire donation process will take approximately one hour, but the actual donation time will only take about 10 minutes. Photo IDs are required to donate. Remember to eat iron-rich foods such as spinach, beans or red meat and to drink plenty of non-caffeinated beverages before donating. Snacks and drinks will be provided to donors to help them refuel.
If you have questions about donating blood in general, visit the “Frequently Asked Questions” page of LifeSouth’s website. If you have questions or comments about Tuesday’s event, email Jim Suess at [email protected].
