The St. Cloud Police Department is partnering with OneBlood to host a community blood donation drive on Tuesday, June 16, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the department’s headquarters located at 4700 Neptune Road in St. Cloud.

The event provides residents with a convenient opportunity to donate blood and help support patients in need throughout Central Florida. Community members are encouraged to participate, as a single blood donation can help save multiple lives.

The donation drive is open to all eligible donors. Participants must be at least 16 years old to donate. Donors who are 16 years old must have parental permission, and all donors are required to present a valid photo ID.

To reduce wait times, donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment in advance through the OneBlood website using sponsor code 23834. Walk-in donors may be accepted based on availability.

The partnership between the St. Cloud Police Department and OneBlood aims to strengthen the local blood supply while providing residents with an easy way to give back to their community. Blood donations support patients undergoing surgeries, cancer treatments, emergency care, and other critical medical procedures.

Residents interested in donating are encouraged to review eligibility requirements and reserve a donation time before attending the event.
