Vitalant Holding Cody Blood Drive This Week

Wyoming needs your blood.

While everyone in the state is encouraged – if not implored – to stay home as much as possible, there’s one need that cannot wait – live-saving blood donations.

Vitalant returns to Cody this week for another community blood drive at VFW Post 2673 on 808 12^th Street. Blood is always needed in our community, especially now that hospitals have been giving permission to resume elective surgeries in addition to their COVID-19 efforts. Vitalant needs a minimum of 200 pints of blood a day to provide enough for local community hospitals in Northern Wyoming and Southern Montana.

Sherri Houston, a Donor Recruiter for Vitalant, has been working to organize several Bighorn Basin drives during the pandemic. They have ensured all the needed safety precautions will be in place.

y The drive will be located at VFW Post 2673 on 808 12^th Street:

• Monday, May 11^th from 10:30 am to 4:15 pm
• Tuesday, May 12^th from 11:30 am to 5:15 pm
• Wednesday, May 13^th from 9:15 am to 3 pm

This drive is by appointment only and all donors must wear a mask. For any additional questions and concerns, contact Vitalant at 877-25 VITAL.
