St. Joseph Parish has cooperated with the Community Blood Center of Greater Kansas City in obtaining blood donors since 1974. The drive is held at the Knights of Columbus Hall in June and November each year, with Blood Center nurses available to take blood donations Appointment times are scheduled through telephone calls to parishioners and through notices in the Church bulletin. Volunteers to assist with the drive are welcome.
Donors must be at least 17 years of age and weigh 100 pounds or more, without a history of heart disease, hepatitis, cancer, or communicable diseases. Supplies used to draw a donor's blood are used ONCE, and then disposed of according to Federal regulation. Each pint of collected blood undergoes six and a half hours of testing. Individuals who are under a physician's care or taking any medications should call the Community Blood Center, 816.753.4040, to find out if they are eligible.
