American Red Cross Blood Drives

The American Red Cross urges donors to give blood now to reinforce the blood supply as much as possible before the summer winds down. Type O blood donors and those giving platelets are especially needed to help keep hospital shelves stocked through August.

Donors remain critically needed to support the Red Cross delivery of vital blood products, which are in demand around-the-clock as hospitals work to save lives this summer. When fewer people answer the call to donate, the blood supply can quickly shrink. Help safeguard necessary care for patients -- book a time to give blood by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1 (800) RED CROSS or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App.

Those who come to give Aug.
