State troopers to host blood drive April 1 at CT Police Academy in Meriden

There is a severe blood shortage happening.

One of the most important things you can do to ensure that we do not have another health care crisis on top of COVID-19 is to give blood. 

There is currently a severe blood shortage. This blood shortage could impact patients who depend on lifesaving blood to survive.

In partnership with the American Red Cross the Connecticut State Police is hosting a blood drive on Wednesday, April 1, 2020 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Connecticut Police Academy, 285 Preston Ave., Meriden.

Added precautions have been implemented to ensure that blood drives and donation centers are safe for donors and their staff.

You must make an appointment to donate blood at this drive.

Visit www.redcrossblood.org/give to make your appointment.
