Critical need for blood donations

 School vacations across the area are contributing to a drop in blood donations. Currently, the blood supply of Type O negative and Type B negative blood is at critical levels.  To help replenish the current supply and prevent a further drop in blood supply levels, please make an appointment to donate blood as soon as possible.

As a Type O negative or B negative donor, your help is needed now! If you already have an appointment to donate, it is crucial that you keep your commitment to give blood. 

Each day the Northeast Division needs to collect 3,500 units of blood for patients in need. To prevent the blood supply from falling even further, we need your help.      

Schedule your appointment to give blood through the American Red Cross today and help save lives. 

Call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org.
