Red Cross Blood Drive
August 21, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The American Red Cross is urging healthy individuals to give blood for patients battling disease and facing the unexpected. The need for blood products remains constant, but blood drives continue to cancel due to COVID-19. It’s important to remember that blood is perishable and cannot be stockpiled. Red blood cells must be transfused within 42 days of donation, so they must constantly be replenished. Each day, the American Red Cross needs to collect nearly 13,000 blood donations to meet the needs of patients at about 2,500 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country. Your donation is critical as other parts of the country are not running drives as frequently as New England. Please make your appointment for Fri. August 21st.
Southern Aroostook Community and the American Red Cross are hosting an upcoming blood drive.
