The Red Cross is experiencing the worst blood shortage in over a decade

BLOOD IS URGENTLY NEEDED IN OUR COMMUNITY – PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING

A blood drive is an essential activity, as outlined by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is imperative for community health and public preparedness plans to maintain blood collection during this challenging time to ensure patient survival.

NEED NEVER STOPS
Our commitment is tested every year with unexpected weather and illness events—it is during this time
that we must hold tighter to our humanity and protect the most vulnerable among us.

PLEASE NOTE,  PRE-REGISTRATION IS MANDATORY. THIS CAN BE DONE BY CLICKING THE LINK BELOW.  THIS PROCESS TAKES ONLY A FEW MINUTES.

If you want to donate blood, make sure to eat a healthy meal and drink an extra 16 oz. of water and fluids before the donation.
