The Windermere Homes & Estates offices are set to host a blood drive on Oct. 12, 2021 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. at their Rancho Bernardo, Escondido and Carlsbad locations. The blood drive will be in conjunction with the San Diego Blood Bank (SDBB) and will follow state-wide COVID-19 guidelines which include mask requirements and social distancing. Donors will need to bring a form of ID to the event. The event will be accepting both walk-ins and appointments made on the San Diego Blood Bank website, http://sandiegobloodbank.org/donate. Each location will be able to take care of an estimated 38-40 spots. Unfortunately, the SDBB currently has a three-day or less supply of most blood types on the shelves. A seven- to ten-day supply is considered ample. “Every year since 1984, the Windermere offices have an annual tradition of closing the business for the day during the summer and fall in order to participate in Community Service Day,” states Windermere founder Rich Johnson. “We knew how hard our local community was hit by the pandemic over the last year, especially the outcry from our local media stations, friends and family about the shortage for blood so when it came time for this year’s Community Service Day, we knew exactly where to turn: the San Diego Blood Bank. We hope with our efforts, we can help supply SDBB’s urgent calls for donations.” For more information please visit: https://www.mysdbb.org/donor/schedules/zip
