Blood Drive

Epiphany has been hosting blood drives with the Gulf Coast Regional Blood center since 2003.  Epiphany of the Lord sponsors quarterly blood drives.  The Blood Drives for 2019 are on the following dates:          Each unit of blood is typically separated into three components: red blood cells, plasma (the liquid part) and platelets.  Each component can go to a separate person, so each unit of blood (about a pint) can help up to three individuals depending on their needs.  Each day the Houston area hospitals need over 1000 units of blood - seven days a week.  

The Blood Drive is held in the Parish Activity Center Rec Room and walk ins are accepted.  Donors must be in general good health, weigh at least 110 pounds, and be at least 17 years old.  There may be other eligibility requirements, and a full health history will be taken at the beginning of each donation. Register on line at  www.eblooddrive.org.

Please consider donating at our next blood Drive or at the Gulf Coast Blood center at 1575 S. Grand Parkway and use Epiphany's donor group number 2340.  Donors can sign up online at www.eblooddrive.org.
