Blood Drive

The District One Masonic Blood Donation Committee has come up with a way for lodge members to get credit for each donation they make. Unfortunately, the old way where each lodge would have a day to donate blood no longer works in this day of COVID and staff shortages. The Central Penn Blood Bank has created Group Numbers for each lodge in District 1 so that when a Masonic Brother goes to donate blood, they give their Masonic Blood Donation Form with their Group Number written on the top of the form, to the blood center people on their visit.

The following information is how all Masonic Lodge members in District 1 will be able to donate blood at any of the Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank centers. Each lodge now has a Group Number assigned to them. It is best if you call ahead or go online create your profile and pre-schedule your appointment at:
https://donate.717giveblood.org/donor/auth/signin

Lodge No. 43’s group number is:

Group #43

Lodge No. 43, F. & A.M.
Masonic Center of Lancaster City
213 West Chestnut Street
Lancaster, Pa. 17603

There is also additional information and forms that you need to access prior to your blood donation time.
https://masonicbloodandorgandonors.org/donate/
Then click on the Forms & Resources tab and scroll down to Forms & Resources.
Once you fill out and print these forms, be sure that you print the group number at the top of the forms. For Lodge 43, that is Group #43.

The forms can also be accessed here on our website (please note, these forms are subject to change, so please be sure to visit https://masonicbloodandorgandonors.org/donate/ for the latest forms):
