Girl Scouts sponsor blood drive at Fort Wayne center

Every two seconds a hospital patient in the U.S. needs blood, yet only 3 percent of the population donates blood.

Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana-Michiana (GSNI-M) is partnering with the American Red Cross to sponsor a blood drive from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 24. There are 56 donation slots available. Each presenting donor will receive a package of Girl Scout cookies.

Donors are asked to schedule an appointment at the Fort Wayne center, 1212 E. California Road, Fort Wayne, by going to redcrossblood.org/give. html/drive-results?zipSponsor=gsnim.

The American Red Cross is screening all blood donations for COVID-19 antibodies. Results will be posted to donor accounts two weeks post-donation.
