Fergus Falls Fire Department Hosts Vitalant Blood Donation Drive

By Zakk Daniels Aug 28, 2023 | 10:55 AM

The Fergus Falls Fire Department is partnering with Vitalant to organize a blood donation event on Wednesday, September 20th.

 

 

The event will be hosted at the fire station and aims to encourage individuals to contribute to this life-saving cause.

Vitalant, a well-known blood donation organization, is collaborating with the Fergus Falls  Fire Department to ensure the success of the event.

The importance of donating blood cannot be overstated; it is a gift of life that is constantly needed, 24/7/365, regardless of blood type.

Both regular donors and those new to the process are invited to participate.

Trained Vitalant staff will be present to handle the donation process in a professional manner.

The entire donation process usually takes around 60 minutes, and donors are allowed to give blood every eight weeks.

 

For those interested in contributing, Chief Ryan can be contacted via email – ryan.muchow@ci.fergus-falls.mn.us to schedule a donation time on September 20th.

To learn more about the blood donation process, eligibility criteria, and other relevant information, please visit the Vitalant website at Vitalant.org.

By participating in this event, community members have the opportunity to provide an invaluable resource that could potentially save lives.
