To support this life-saving initiative, Kent County residents are encouraged to donate blood. In collaboration with the Blood Bank of Delmarva, the Kent County Levy Court, Department of Public Safety will host a community blood drive on Friday, October 11, 2024, at the Kent County Administrative Complex (555 Bay Road, Room 220, Dover, DE). The event will happen from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and is open to all eligible donors.
Chief Kevin Sipple, Director of Public Safety, emphasized the vital role of blood donations in saving lives: "Whole blood is essential for treating patients who experience blood loss due to traumatic injuries. Administering blood in the field helps restore blood volume and oxygen, preventing shock and increasing the chances of survival before the patient reaches the hospital."
Residents interested in participating in the blood drive should bring valid identification, eat a healthy meal, and drink plenty of water before donating. For more information, contact Danielle Patterson-Fields at Kent County Levy Court’s Human Resources Department at 302-744-1918.
