(2.15) Head down to the Providence Performing Arts Center this Wednesday and donate some blood. There are always snacks and juice at these things, and you can just lie there, gazing up at the ceiling. Could there be a more beautiful setting in which to donate blood than the PPAC grand lobby? Make an appointment now; it helps them plan.
The PPAC and WPRI, in partnership with the Rhode Island Blood Center (RIBC), are hosting their fourth community blood drive.
The Rhode Island Blood Center provides over 250 units of blood and blood products each day, and blood supply constantly needs to be replenished. The entire process takes less than an hour, and a single donation can help to save three lives.
Free parking will be available for blood donors on the Page Street side of the theater.
And this just in from the FDA: The deferral for potential exposure to Mad Cow Disease has been lifted! Go here for info.
Blood drive, 10am to 3pm, Wednesday, February 15, PPAC, 220 Weybosset Street, (directions)
