Hand-outRim Country residents are being urged to donate blood Aug. 19 and 27
Appointments are still available – dozens of donors are urgently needed. Vitalant staff and volunteers return to Payson for the community’s next blood drives: the first is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Friday, Aug. 19 at Banner Payson High Country Seniors’ Community Room, 215 N. Beeline Hwy., Payson.
Register online to give a pint – your donation can save up to three lives. Schedule your appointment conveniently online at vitalant.org; search by zip code 85541, or call 877-25-VITAL (877-258-4825).
Vitalant supplies and donates blood to 62 hospitals in Arizona and urges Payson and Rim Country donors to offset a statewide “critical blood shortage.” Both Vitalant and the American Red Cross report that during 2021-2022 the supply has dropped to the lowest level in years, in part because COVID-19 sickened so many Arizonans, making them ineligible to donate blood while they were unwell.
Mark your calendar for Saturday, Aug. 27 to donate at the Star Valley Moose Lodge #582. 4211 E. Hwy. 260.

Healthy donors are welcome, regardless of vaccinated or unvaccinated status. Donors with Type O blood are especially needed because that universal type of blood is used to treat emergencies and trauma.
