Give the gift of blood and help save a life. The Red Cross is reporting that it is experiencing the worst blood shortage in over a decade. Make an appointment to donate blood at the American Red Cross Blood Drive on Wednesday, February 9, 2022 from 3:00-8:00 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room. Our goal is to collect 47 or more donations.
All donors will have their temperature checked prior to admittance to the blood drive. ACS has hosted American Red Cross blood drives since 2008 to help meet the urgent needs of patients at hospitals in our community. According to the Red Cross, the current low blood supply levels have forced some hospitals to defer patients from major surgery, including organ transplants.
