Philo Blood Drives

Life saving donations.

Philo organizes and sponsors four blood drives each year in conjunction with UC Health’s Garth Englund Blood Center. These drives are conducted at the Grace Community Church, 240 Barberry Place, Loveland. The Bloodmobile arrives and greets donors from 9AM to 3PM on the third Tuesday of February, May, August and November.

Philo committee members greet the donors and provide refreshments for the post donation recuperation time. Philo members are strongly urged to donate or ask partners or friends to give.

Any questions re: donation eligibility can be answered by calling the Garth Englund Blood Center. 970-495-8987. Also, you can email: donateblood@uchealth.org
