World Blood Donor Day In Chattanooga: Where To Donate

World Blood Donor Day is observed every year on June 14, with people around the world coming together to make donations that can save lives. The date holds special importance this year with so many communities battling COVID-19, and the need for donations being greater than ever. Our real estate agents have put together a list of local blood drives and donation facilities, for anyone who wants to be a part of World Blood Donor Day this year.

A Quick Note on Appointments for Blood Donations
With social distancing guidelines in place, blood drives are currently operating a bit differently than what you may be used to from previous donations. Most blood drives now require anyone who gives blood to make an appointment, rather than simply showing up and donating. This extra step helps protect those who donate, and it's easy to schedule an appointment at a time that fits your schedule.
Springhill Suites – 6/17/20 – 495 Riverfront Pkwy., Chattanooga, TN 37402
The next blood drive in the Chattanooga area takes place at the Springhill Suites Hotel, on the afternoon of June 17. This drive is being operated by the American Red Cross, and there are appointment slots every 15 minutes from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm. You can schedule your appointment by visiting the American Red Cross website, entering your Chattanooga ZIP code, and clicking on one of the open slots in the Springhill Suites event. All donors will also be eligible for a raffle to win a free one-night stay at Springhill Suites.
