Dover, MA – Residents across Norfolk County have a chance to donate blood today as the Dover Community Blood Drive runs through 3 p.m. at American Legion Post 209 on Dedham Street.
According to the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office, the event is being held in partnership with the American Red Cross to help address ongoing blood supply needs as the winter season reduces the number of available donors. The drive is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, and walk-ins are accepted as space allows.
Officials said donors may scan the QR code provided in the event announcement to schedule an appointment and streamline their pre-donation process. The Red Cross notes that using its RapidPass system can save donors up to 15 minutes by allowing them to complete health history questions before arrival.
The Sheriff’s Office emphasized the community impact of participating in today’s event, noting that each donation can help multiple patients in hospitals across Massachusetts. Donors will also receive a $15 Amazon gift card through a Red Cross promotional program, while supplies last.
The event is being staffed by Red Cross personnel and supported by members of the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office, who said they hope to see strong turnout before the drive closes at 3 p.m.
Those unable to attend today can find additional future blood drive opportunities at RedCrossBlood.org.
