Emergency Blood Shortage - American Red Cross Needs You In Bernie!

Emergency Blood Shortage - American Red Cross Needs You In Bernie!

Bernie, MO - The American Red Cross will host a BLOOD DRIVE at the Bernie Community Center on Wednesday, October 27, 2021.

The Bernie Community Center is located at 503 South Walnut Street.  The hours will be from 12:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.

This month is scary, and it’s not because of Halloween. Fall is typically a time when the blood supply bounces back from summer blood shortages, but this year is different. We’re experiencing an emergency blood shortage amid the lowest donor turnout in all of 2021. Hospital demand for blood remains high, so it’s critical that blood is always available.

One blood donor can make a big impact, and one appointment is all it takes. Come in to give blood this October and receive a link by email to claim a free Zaxby’s® Signature Sandwich reward!* Or get a $5 e-gift card to a merchant of your choice.** PLUS, get double the thank-you with an extra $5 e-gift card when you come to give by Oct. 31!

You may still donate after receiving a COVID-19 vaccination. Knowing the name of the manufacturer is critical in determining your blood donation eligibility.

The Red Cross follows the highest standards of safety and infection control. For the safety of our donors and staff, the Red Cross will require all those at blood drives and blood donation centers to wear face masks regardless of their vaccination status. Valve face masks are not permitted. Face shields can be worn in addition to face masks but not as a substitute.

Bernie PD to Participate in DEA National RX TAKE BACK Day

Bernie PD to Participate in DEA National RX TAKE BACK Day

Bernie, Missouri - On Saturday, April 27th from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. the Bernie Police Dept will host the annual DEA National RX Take Back Day.

Too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands. That's dangerous and often tragic. That's why it was great to see thousands of folks from across the country clean out their medicine cabinets and turn in - safely and anonymously - a record amount of prescription drugs.

Bring your unused, unwanted, or expired medications for safe disposal to the Bernie police Department.

This even is sponsored by Southeast Missouri Behavioral Health, local law enforcement, and local pharmacies.

"Keep them safe! Clean them out! Take them back!"

"The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day addresses a crucial public safety and public health issue. According to the 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 6 million Americans misused controlled prescription drugs. The study shows that a majority of abused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet."

The DEA’s Take Back Day events provide an opportunity for Americans to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths.
