December is a month of giving, and what better gift to give than the gift of life? Columbine Health Systems has partnered with Garth Englund Blood Center to make it easy and convenient to donate blood with the Columbine Spirit of Giving Blood Drive. Blood donations will be used to help those in need right in our own communities. They help supply Poudre Valley Hospital, Medical Center of the Rockies, Greeley Hospital and Longs Peak Hospital.
The holiday season is an especially busy time, so there are three options to donate:
- Dec. 15 at Lakeview Commons, 1422 W. 29th Street in Loveland from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
- Dec.18 at Lemay Avenue Health & Rehab, 4824 S. Lemay Avenue in Fort Collins from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
- Dec. 19 at Drake Center, 802 W. Drake Road in Fort Collins from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
Walk-ins are welcome; however, appointments are strongly recommended and can be made here. The donation process takes 30 to 45 minutes. Donors are advised to eat a good meal before their appointment.
