GREEN BAY (NBC 26) -- Every Friday this month, you can donate blood at the Johnsonville Tailgate Village. It's part of a joint effort by the Packers and American Red Cross to help keep up with the demand for blood during the coronavirus pandemic.
While Lambeau Field remains closed, the Green Bay Packers and American Red Cross are set to host appointment-only blood drives each Friday in May at the Johnsonville Tailgate Village.
The drives, which will not be accepting walk-in donors without appointments, will be held Friday, May 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
To schedule an appointment, donors can download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit the drive page or enter Sponsor Code: PACKERS at RedCrossBlood.org. Donors can also schedule an appointment by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
For the safety of the donor community and in accordance with CDC guidelines, all donors are required to wear a face covering or mask.
