February Blood Drive at St. Johns Swapnplay

Our next Red Cross Blood Drive is on Thursday, February 26th! Sign up to give!

With the start of the new year, the American Red Cross asks donors to give blood or platelets now to help aid the blood supply shortage we face after the end-of-the-year holiday season.

The American Red Cross is facing a severe blood shortage as requests from hospitals exceed the available supply of blood, drawing down the blood supply by about 35% over the past month. Hospitals already strained by the worst flu season in nearly 20 years are now also being forced to triage critical blood products. High flu activity in nearly every state may be sidelining donors, slowing efforts to rebuild the Red Cross national blood supply. We need your help!

Sign up for a spot and make a donation on February 26 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!
