Waterbury Fire Department hosts blood drive Sept. 10

Sept. 2, 2022  |  By Waterbury Roundabout

The Waterbury Fire Department hosts an annual blood drive on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. 

This year with the anniversary falling on a Sunday, the drive will be held on Saturday, Sept. 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Main Street fire station. 

Donors should schedule an appointment time in advance if possible. Scheduling can be done online at redcrossblood.org/give.html/donation-time or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS. The American Red Cross runs the drive and this month it will give each donor a free t-shirt as a thank you gift. 

Those wishing to donate blood who cannot make the Saturday drive will find drives scheduled nearby in Montpelier at City Hall on Thursday, Sept. 8, and in Stowe at the Golden Eagle Resort on Friday, Sept. 9. Details on the Red Cross website.
