The American Red Cross urges everyone who can to donate blood or platelets immediately. The winter storm canceled or impacted scheduled blood drives preventing the collection of more than 625 units of blood and platelets.
You can help restore the blood supply by giving blood at one of the following sites. Walk-ins are welcome. Phone numbers are provided for those wanting more information or making an appointment.
