Blood Drives

People take pride in many aspects of their lives. Family, work, friends and recreation – all these things bring a great sense of accomplishment to people every day.

Have you ever considered the pride that comes from saving another person’s life? It's really very simple to do. Just become a blood or platelet donor.

It takes only one hour of your time to help save up to three lives. That means you can take pride in knowing you may have helped a child with sickle cell anemia play with friends, a mother give birth to her child or a grandparent spend more time with loved ones. Take pride in yourself and in your community.

The City of Kennesaw Parks & Recreation Department is a proud sponsor of American Red Cross blood drives, which are hosted at the Ben Robertson Community Center, 2753 Watts Drive.

Most healthy people who are at least 17 years old and weigh 110 pounds or more are eligible to donate every 56 days. For complete eligibility information, review the American Red Cross donor eligibility guidelines. All current eligible and new donors are strongly urged to schedule an appointment to donate blood, although walk-ins are welcome.
