Every three months the Lake Norman Small Business Network organizes a community blood drive with OneBlood. The Big Red Bus is parked in front of the store at the Antiquity Harris Teeter, 21720 Catawba Avenue, Cornelius, NC 28031.
OneBlood welcomes donations from donors 16 years old and older. (Note: 16-year-old donors must present a signed permission form from their parent or guardian before the donation.)
Don’t guess about the restrictions for giving blood—OneBlood requests that you do not self-defer. Check here for additional information about medications, high blood pressure, diabetes and other potential issues. Contact OneBlood for more specific information. Or simply show up on Thursday, you may be surprised, an issue that prevented you from giving blood in the past, may not be an issue today. However, there is little to no waiting when you schedule your appointment.
There will be two buses at Harris Teeter Antiquity Cornelius: one for giving Whole Blood and one for giving Double Red Cells.

All donors will receive a OneBlood Beach Towel AND a $20 eGift Card (depending upon availability, you get to choose from many great retailers).
All donors also receive a wellness checkup including blood pressure, temperature, iron count, pulse, and cholesterol screening.
OneBlood delivers blood to hospitals in our area 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
