City of Garden Ridge issued the following announcement on June 1.
The City of Garden Ridge and the Garden Ridge Lions are co-sponsoring a blood drive on June 13 from 9am to 3pm at the Garden Ridge Community and Event Center. As our South Texas communities slowly start to return to a "new normal," there's a high demand for blood as previously postponed surgeries are rescheduled. The South Texas Blood and Tissue Center estimate needing 500 donors a day to keep up with demand. The South Texas Blood and Tissue Center wouldn't ask citizens to donate blood without continuing to keep you safe during the COVID-19 health emergency.
If you wish to donate, then there will be safety guidelines followed. One of these guidelines is that donations can only be set by appointment. This allows them to control donor flow. In addition, the following safety measures will be implemented: social distancing guidelines with proper spacing at check-in areas, donor chairs, etc. Masks will be worn by employees and the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center recommends donors wear them too. They will offer masks to any donor attending.
