Red Cross Blood Drive in Thorp Today
Tuesday, January 28th, 2014 -- 8:22 AM
-There is a Red Cross Blood Drive happening in Thorp today, Tuesday, January 28th.Whether someone is among the 39 percent of the U.S. population with type O positive blood or the 2 percent with B negative, the American Red Cross is looking for eligible donors of all types to give blood to help avert a shortage.
Those with O negative, A negative and B negative are especially urged to donate, as their blood types are often in high demand because they can potentially be transfused to both Rh negative and positive patients.
O negative is the universal blood type and can potentially be transfused to any patient.
The blood drive is at the Thorp Fire Hall from 12:00pm-6:00pm.
