Reston Bible Church and Christian Fellowship Church will be sponsoring a blood drive on Saturday, May 4, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Blood supplies are critically low. Every three seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood and more than 31,000 pints of blood are used daily. However, less than 10 percent of Americans currently donate each year.

Only whole blood and double red types will be accepted for this drive.

Complete your Donor History Questionnaire online: With INOVA’s Quick Pass, you are now able to fill out your Donor History Questionnaire on the date of your donation, prior to arriving to the donor center.

Inova has relaxed their travel deferral requirements. Travel to a malaria country (e.g., Brazil, Haiti, India, etc.) now only carries a three-month waiting period, down from 12. In addition, some European travel restrictions have been downgraded. Click here for more information on eligibility.
