Red Cross Blood Drive in Neillsville Today
Wednesday, August 26th, 2015 -- 10:16 AM
-The American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give blood as August comes to an end and help meet the constant need for blood products by patients. Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood.Summer is an especially difficult time to collect enough blood to meet the needs of hospital patients. Despite travel and other activities that may cause some donors to be less available to give, the Red Cross must collect 15,000 blood donations every day to meet the needs of patients at approximately 2,600 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country.
Every blood donation is important in helping ensure blood is available for patients in need, and volunteer donors are the only source of blood for those who need it. Donors of all blood types, especially those with types AB, O negative, A negative and B negative, are needed to help ensure blood products are available to hospital patients this summer.
You can help by giving blood today at OEM Fabricators in Neillsville from Noon-5pm and tomorrow at Trinity Christian Fellowship in Stanley from 1pm-6pm.
