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 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 using the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
In thanks, those who come to give during August will receive a $20 Amazon.com Gift Card by email.
Upcoming blood donation opportunities in Marshall County include Thursday, August 8th at the Argos United Methodist Church at 540 North Michigan Street from 1:30 to 5:30. On Wednesday, August 14th the American Red Cross will be in Plymouth at the Knights of Columbus at 901 East Jefferson Street from 11:30 to 5:30 and the next day, Thursday, August 15th the blood drive is in Culver at the Culver-Union Township Public Library at 107 North Main Street from 11:30 to 4:30.
To donate blood, simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767), or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device to make an appointment or for more information.
