VSO to host community blood drive

United Blood Services will be in Saratoga Tuesday to conduct the annual blood drive organized by the Valley Service Organization (VSO).

The drive will be from 1 to 5:30 p.m. in the Great Hall of the Platte Valley Community Center.

Roxie Baldwin, VSO coordinator for the blood drive, said members are currently calling prospective donors to make appointments. Donors can also sign up on line by logging on to http://www.bloodhero.com (sponsor code: toga) to schedule their appointments. Walk-ins are also welcome.

This year those who sign up online can save time at the interview portion of their appointments: if an email address is included with the signup, the donor can go online before his or her appointment and fill out the required questionnaire there.

Baldwin also said that prospective donors who can’t sign up online or who are not contacted by telephone can call her at 307-326-8545 for an appointment.
