The Red Cross Needs Blood Donations and Volunteers

March is Red Cross Month, and there are several ways to get involved. Red Cross volunteers have been providing food and shelter to those in need during recent bouts with winter weather, and they’re looking for more volunteers. Several Red Cross blood drives have been canceled recently because of the pandemic and winter weather, and you’re encouraged to give blood if possible by making an appointment online. Anyone who donates blood, plasma or platelets between March 15 and March 26 will receive a free Red Cross t-shirt as a thank you gift. You can make an appointment at www.redcross.org, and also volunteer or donate to disaster relief.
