    Description

    Turn your love of driving into a lifesaving experience!

    Blood Services Transportation Specialists transport blood and blood products throughout the region in a safe and timely manner. Whether transporting blood from blood drives to the processing facility in West Henrietta, or distributing blood product from West Henrietta to area hospitals, Red Cross Transportation Specialists are essential to making life-saving blood product readily available!

    We are particularly in need of drivers during weekday afternoons/evenings and Sundays. You sign up for the shifts you can cover.
