The American Red Cross is asking the public to start off the fall season with a lifesaving blood or platelet donation. While the leaves turn, the need for blood never changes. Those who give play an important role in keeping the blood supply high enough to help patients counting on blood products for care – especially ahead of the busy holiday season.
Book a time to give blood or platelets by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). As a thank-you, all who come to give in October will receive a $5 e-Gift Card by email to a merchant of choice.
