ATTENTION!
While the temperature outside is rising, and according to the American Red Cross, the blood supply often drops due to do donors being on vacation or busy with summer activities.
“No matter what your schedule has in store, set aside an hour to donate blood through the Red Cross and be a lifesaver to patients in need.”
Holiday weekends, like the Fourth of July, can prove extra challenging for blood collection making this a great time to donate and help maintain the blood supply while adding a little variety to your summer routine. To help ensure a stable blood supply through the season, make an appointment to donate blood.
