The American Red Cross blood supply remains vulnerable, and individuals are urged to schedule a blood or platelet donation. To make an appointment, use the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
For a limited time, the Red Cross has resumed testing all blood, platelet, and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies. Plasma from routine donations that have high levels of COVID-19 antibodies may be used as convalescent plasma to help meet the needs of COVID-19 patients with weakened immune systems.
All who donate blood or platelets in March will get a $10 e-gift card, thanks to Fanatics. Plus, donors will automatically be entered for a chance to win a trip for two to the 2022 MLB® All-Star Game® in Los Angeles, California. Details are available at rcblood.org/team.
