Holy Redeemer Parish in Jenison recently announced that it will be holding a blood drive on Aug. 16. 

The blood drive will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the church on 2700 Baldwin Ave. It will be held in rooms 10, 11 and 12, which can be accessed through entrance B. 

The donors will be screened upon arrival and will be asked to don a mask and socially distance during their time at the drive. Appointments can be made prior to the drive and are advised rather than walk-ins, though individuals who arrive without an appointment will be accommodated as available. 

Appointments can be made online. 

Individuals who are planning on donating are reminded to stay hydrated during the donation as well as to prepare by eating a healthy meal prior to the donation. For more information, call 866-642-5663.
