Several times each year, Canadian Blood Services holds blood donor clinics in Alliston and Tottenham.
Blood and plasma donations are essential for people undergoing surgery or recovering from an accident, and they save lives across the country.
While trained professionals draw blood and plasma from donors, volunteers are also needed to ensure everything runs smoothly.
There is a need for volunteers at the Tottenham blood donor clinic. With only four volunteers, if one person is away and another becomes sick, there won’t be enough to ensure everyone is taken care of.
The primary job of volunteers is to keep an eye on donors after they have given blood and check for signs that someone is feeling unwell, fainting, or bleeding. Volunteers look after donors in the recovery area.
This is a volunteer position with no pay; however, it is very rewarding, and you will meet many residents from the town.
Volunteers must go through a minor vetting check questionnaire. Volunteers will receive a blood donor uniform, name badge, and on-the-job training.
If you would like to become a blood donor clinic volunteer in Tottenham or Alliston, you can contact Canadian Blood Services at blood.ca, or contact local volunteers at 905-727-5399.
