We began hosting a regular blood drive in Watersound Origins in April 2020. Since then, we have collected 61 pints of blood. During our last blood drive in August, we collected 19 of those 61 pints.

Whether you are a new donor or one who gives on a regular basis, we invite anyone who wants to give to our OPEN Community Blood Drive. Regular donors can donate blood every 8 weeks. We schedule the Watersound Origins blood drives at least 8 weeks apart.

Our next blood drive is scheduled for Monday, October 12th on the Big Red Bus at the Watersound Origins Community Center from 11-4. Please use the attached link to sign up for an appointment. Please private message me if you have any questions.

Watersound Origins OPEN Community Blood Drive Results

The 2020 Watersound Origins Open Community Blood Drives have been a huge success!

Here is an email excerpt from Amy Walker, our One Blood Representative:

“This year we collected a total of 108 units of blood at Watersound Origins and potentially impacting 324 patients lives! I thank you and everyone there for being so supportive and helpful. Thank you for standing by us through the global pandemic and continuing to support our mission. You guys have a wonderful heart!”

Thank you Watersound Origins and the entire South Walton Community for coming together this year to help maintain the blood supply! Blood is always needed, even during a pandemic, and the supply can only be maintained by special donors like you. I watched people outside the bus on Monday waiting to give blood, socially distanced, waiting patiently for their turn, as we collected 28 pints of blood! Amy indicated to me during the drive that everyone was showing up for their scheduled appointments.

This, friends, is how a perfect blood drive is executed. Everyone does their part to help save lives!!! Thank you again and we will see you at the next one!
