Blood donors needed
Having blood and platelets available when a patient arrives at a trauma center is vital. Major traumas can quickly deplete a hospital’s blood product supply. People of all blood types are urged to schedule an appointment to give blood or platelets as we look toward Memorial Day and summer.
All who come to give June 1-28, 2026, will receive a $15 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice, plus automatic entry for a chance to win one of two $7,500 gift cards. See RedCrossBlood.org/June for details.
