The American Red Cross urges donors to give blood now, to reinforce the blood supply as much as possible before the summer winds down.
Type O blood donors and those giving platelets are especially needed to help keep hospital shelves stocked through August. Donors remain critically needed to support Red Cross delivery of VITAL blood products that are in demand constantly – as hospitals work to save lives.
If fewer people answer the call to donate, the blood supply can QUICKLY shrink.
Help safeguard necessary care for patients and book a time to give blood by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS, OR by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App. In thanks – all those who come out to give August 1st – 31st (2024) – will get a $20 Amazon.com Gift Card by email.
See RedCrossBlood.org/Help for details.
