#AllTypesNeeded Halloween Blood Drive

Small Give ∴ Big Impact ∴ Honor the Giver

WHY IS IMPACT HUB OAKLAND HOSTING A BLOOD DRIVE?

Earlier this year our esteemed Co-Founder, Ashara Ekundayo, endured a life threatening health scare. Part of her recovery required multiple sessions of plasmapheresis, a procedure that cleanses the blood of its bad antibodies and replaces it with good plasma. Having access to donated blood and plasma was critical to her recovery. So now, it’s our turn to rally the tribe and reciprocate the gift that saves lives.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The donation process takes about an hour:

Step 1: Before you give blood make sure to hydrate and maintain a healthy level of iron in your diet
Step 2: Register by showing a donor card, driver’s license, or other form(s) of ID
Step 3: Health history and mini-physical
Step 4: Relax during your 8-10 minute donation
