Red Cross Emergency Call for Donations
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2012 -- 9:46 AM
-The Red Cross has sent out an emergency call for blood and platelet donors of all types.The Red Cross has half as many blood products currently in its inventory as this time last year.
Unseasonably early warm weather may be a contributing factor to the 50,000 donation shortfall in June as many regular donors got an early start on summer activities, and aren?t taking time to give blood or platelets.
The American Red Cross? Live Life. Give Life. Campaign is also going on at this time. This program presents donors between May 21 and September 5, a chance to be automatically entered into the Live Life. Give Life. promotion for a chance to win prize packages from GiftCertificates.com.
And, from June 29 to July 8, presenting donors will be entered to win additional prize certificates to thank them for giving blood around the Independence Day holiday.
Here in Clark County you can donate blood at the Abbotsford City Hall on Thursday, July 5th from 12:00 pm- 6:00 pm and at the Thorp Fire & Ambulance District Station on Monday, July 9th from 12:00 pm- 6:00 pm.
