December Blood Drive

Our next Red Cross Blood Drive is on Thursday, December 11th! Sign up to give!

With the end of the year quickly approaching, the American Red Cross asks donors to give blood or platelets now to help those in need enjoy the rest of the holiday season with loved ones. Donors with type O negative blood and those giving platelets are especially urged to give now so patients can continue to receive the care they count on in the coming weeks.

This is a busy time for many. In addition to travel, seasonal illness and the threat of winter weather can also lead to lower appointment numbers and decreased donor turnout, making it tougher to keep the blood supply stable. Those who give regularly and those looking to give for the first time are encouraged to take one hour this December to help save lives with a blood or platelet donation.

Sign up for a spot and make a donation on December 11 to help support your community!

Sign up HERE!

Our blood drives are located right upstairs from Swapnplay in the Red Sea Church auditorium. Please join our lifesaving mission- and share this post with your friends and neighbors!
