On Tuesday, February 13th and Wednesday, February 14th, Hoxworth Blood Center will need some volunteer assistance at the Queen City Blood Drive at the Duke Energy Convention Center (525 Elm Street, 45202). The blood driver will run from 11:30 AM – 6:00 PM on Tuesday (2/13) and from 10:00 AM – 4:30 PM on Wednesday (2/14). We will have two shifts with an early and a late shift both days.
On Tuesday shifts will be 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM & 2:30 PM – 6:30 PM.
On Wednesday shifts will be 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM & 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM.
As with most volunteer shifts, additional time is built in to allow for set-up prep, shift turnover, end of blood drive donors and clean-up. Volunteers coming on the early shift will be asked to help with set-up and volunteers at the end will help with end of day clean-up. If you cannot commit to this entire shift time but would like to help, please let us know and we will see if we can get you scheduled.
You will receive FREE validated parking for the 605 Plum Street garage. Complimentary Parking is at the 6th & Plum Garage – 605 Plum Street. This garage is on Plum, but you have to enter through Central Avenue. If traveling NORTH on Elm Street, turn Left onto W. 6th Street, turn Right onto Central Avenue, turn Right into the garage. If traveling SOUTH on Plum Street, turn Right onto W 6th Street, turn Right onto Central Avenue, turn Right into the garage. Validation stickers can be retrieved at Queen City Blood Drive check-in, and this is the only place that you can park with no charge.
We also secured a FREE lunch for each volunteer that participates with a Larosa's pizza, drinks, and a dessert.
Please send an email to Jamie Glahn (james.glahn@uc.edu) if you have any questions. More detailed directions and additional information will be provided to those that sign-up.
