Red Cross Blood Drive in Neillsville Today
Monday, June 2nd, 2014 -- 8:17 AM
-There are a couple Red Cross Blood Drives happening this week.There is a blood drive happening at the Neillsville American Legion today from 11:30 to 5:30. There is another blood drive happening in Thorp on Tuesday at the Fire Hall from 12 to 6.
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.
