The Boothbay Region YMCA will host American Red Cross blood drives on Thursday, June 4, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Thursday, July 16, 1 to 6 p.m. Both will be held in the YMCA’s field house. The blood drives are by appointment only.

Healthy individuals who are feeling well are asked to make an appointment to donate by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device. Donors are asked to schedule an appointment prior to arriving at the drive and are required to wear a face covering or mask while at the drive, in alignment with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention public guidance.
