The American Red Cross is seeing a drop in blood and platelet supply and eligible donors are encouraged to consider donation this holiday.
The Red Cross is gifting anyone who donates blood through July 10th- whether it’s at the upcoming drive in Butler County or a different drive- a Red Cross recycled cotton tote bag while supplies last.
Officials say the summer months can be among the most challenging times of the year for blood and platelet donations as regular donors delay giving while on vacation or participating in summer activities.
Making an appointment is easy – download the Blood Donor App, visit the Red Cross website, or call 1-800-RED CROSS.
